Did you know that 63% of people requesting information on your product will not purchase for 3 months? So, what that means for you is that 2/3 of your clients need you to be paying attention to them for at least 90 days.  Another 20% will not buy for more than a year.  Basically, 83% of people are not buying anything between 90 days and 12 months.  Some of the most loyal customers Grant has had took the longest time to get.
