Jersey Desk/10333236

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. - JerseyDesk -- As business owners continue looking for practical ways to save time, increase revenue, and strengthen customer relationships, Anna D. Banks, Certified AI Consultant, Executive Coach, and Founder of Thrive Leadership Institute, Inc., is featured in a Master Class segment with Stanley Matthews titled "The Follow-Up Fortune: How AI Helps You Stop Leaving Money on the Table."

The segment addresses a common but costly business challenge: missed follow-up after networking events, discovery calls, proposals, referrals, and warm leads.

According to Banks, many business owners are not losing sales because prospects said no. They are losing sales because nobody followed up.

"Follow-up is not busywork. Follow-up is revenue work," said Banks. "Too many business owners spend time looking for new leads while overlooking opportunities already sitting in their inbox, contact list, or proposal pipeline. AI can help them follow up faster, sound more personal, and stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed."
