Connect with contacts
Now that you've met a few new business professionals from last night's networking events, be sure to continue the relationship online. Here's an easy way to start. Shortly after the networking events offer contact them on LinkedIn and imagine 2-time. Always make sure to remove the default, LinkedIn-provided advertisement and crafts a brief note on the talk you (shows you were paying attention; not everyone wanted to get myself?).
This is a good strategy to ask additional questions about their business, what types of customers, they need to meet, etc if your business or individuals really, hope to develop a conversation in the past, LinkedIn and on email and phone. If you think synergy is right, go to a coffee chat.
We shall now proceed to cluster 2. They are people you met in 2nd or 3rd time. At least if you think it has potential for development in favour of a connection, go ahead and email them to let them know it's been great seeing them again. Just a short touch to keep you in their minds. Now with people you met and interviewed more than once, most likely you "feel" for their interest in your business. I hope your conversations include an exchange of views of each other's work, and if so, I let them know that they can receive free tips and news from you about developments in your industry.
Don't forget to affiliate with connections to other possibilities of social media. Maybe your connection is only tested in LinkedIn here and there, but spend much of their time on Twitter; follow them on Twitter and send a direct message or two shared the link, etc. or maybe Facebook more speed and you can check out their fan page and encourage them as yours in turn. While their fan page or blog post positive comments and show your support. Continued relationship on social media sites is interesting, useful and will help you learn more about them and their business.
It will pay off? It was shown that less really warm connections list would go much further than trunk cards from strangers. You want to see if they fit your target market (or have direct access to them). They demonstrated a genuine interest in your products or to help you connect to people who do?
Follow on this selection process and every few months, go through the people in your database. You'll know who to reach out. Toss out those you can't remember, because you never heard from them again. Where to go to all these contacts? Found in part III.
