The initial contact has to be the most important.

As the old adage goes: "you only get one chance to make a first impression."

So if your initial contact goes badly you might have no chance for a follow-up - in which case it doesn't matter if your follow-up is the best in SFI.

Of course, this does not mean that you can neglect to develop your follow-up approach and skills. On the contrary, it is essential that you do so.
