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.

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.

I was lost in information overload about internet marketing when I came to Wonderful Web Women and Janet generously offered her time to help me to gain clarity. The most powerful thing I realised was not to leave my business brain behind. Being on the internet is simply being in business, if you know a little bit about business, just think the way you do any other time. I did this and suddenly I saw an acre of diamonds lying right at my feet.
