I don’t have to tell you how important networking is to building your business.
I know you know the values of building relationships and how those connections can open up doors of opportunities that would not have otherwise been open.
But, are you are leaving money on the table?
You attend a variety of events to grow your business and to meet and network with new people, and that is great.
You have a bit of a conversation, get their card and chat about how it would be great to connect later.
Only to get back to your office, return to your hectic agenda and the cards end up getting set aside and later forgotten about. You may be able to send out a quick email reaching out, but that’s where it ends.
The value of connecting with new people is not what happens at that event; although, I know of some major business that has happened at live events. I have even had that happen for me, but it is not the norm.
