In this YouTube short, Nicolas Cole explains that a common mistake across the entire business spectrum—from solo freelancers to massive corporations—is failing to follow up with clients. He asserts that 99% of follow‑up attempts are perceived as helpful rather than annoying, and that most clients actually appreciate the reminder. By neglecting follow‑ups, businesses leave money on the table, missing a simple yet powerful revenue opportunity.

Where everyone leaves money on the table, everyone from I work for myself, freelancers, solopreneurs, all the way up to massive companies that employ tens of thousands of people. Where everyone leaves money on the table is they don't follow up. 99% of the time when you follow up with someone, you are not being seen as annoying. You're actually being seen as helpful. The vast majority of the time, the client is not bothered. The client is actually appreciative.
