Vivian Weyll warns salespeople not to use weak follow-up phrases like “I’m just following up” or “I’m just checking in,” arguing such language makes the sender appear desperate. She recommends more confident alternatives (e.g., “Hey Henry, I just had a minute to get back to you,” or “Hey Mary, I’m giving you a call back”) and claims using these approaches can improve appointment-setting and sales because it signals you are busier than the prospect. The clip ends with a CTA to follow for more business education.
