Effective Meeting Control and Accountability with the Summer Email

One of the tactical tips shared by John Barrows is the use of the summer email. This email is sent after a conversation to summarize the key points discussed and hold the recipient accountable. By letting the recipient know in advance that the email is coming and asking them to review and confirm the accuracy of the summary, the response rates are significantly higher. John Barrows has seen a 90% close ratio when he receives a response to the summer email, compared to a 40% close ratio when there is no response.
