Networking is a very important marketing component for most businesses, yet so many people just don’t seem to understand that to make it work there is a crucial step that must be done right…the follow-up.
At a recent event I attended I went up to the presenter afterwards and said that I was very interested in what they were offering and could they call me the following day.The presenter replied ” Absolutely. We’ll be in touch tomorrow”. Three weeks later and nothing has happened! What a waste of an opportunity. I won’t be investing any money with this company.
Most events, business meetings, seminars etc. where I’ve met some great people…guess what? 99% of them never follow up afterwards. Not even a ‘Great to meet you’ email or phone call.
If you’re in business and you want to maximise your time and money, learn how to network effectively and follow up! It’s so simple yet most people don’t do it.

Also make sure you follow these networking basics:
1. Always have your business cards with you.
2. Block time in your diary to follow up from every event within 24-48 hours.
3. Add all business cards to your database and keep detailed records of all conversations and communications
4. Have a way to stay in touch with people ie. an ezine, newsletter, cards etc.
5. Keep doing the basics… they work.

As you may know recently my town was destroyed in Hurricane Irene. For the last few weeks I have been doing much contemplating over what I really want. What do I want my business to be? I had even considered just walking away.... although that didn't last longer than 15 seconds. Then today I got this email, reminding me what I CAN do, reminding me that I have an amazing teacher and mentor, who not only can show me everything I need to know about business, she also looks pretty damn good in Harry Potter Glasses. Thank you Janet for being exactly who you are. I can't wait to get back on track with my business and begin creating again. And thanks once again for adding incredible value to the web and making it possible for people like me to learn from amazing minds like you. If you ever wonder if you are really making difference out there in the world, just pull out his email and give it a read. HUGS
