Following up after a networking event without being pushy is about balance and authenticity. Here’s how you can do it: Personalize your message: Reference something specific from your conversation to show genuine interest. Keep it brief and friendly: Send a short message expressing your appreciation for the connection. Offer value: Share an article, insight, or resource related to your discussion to provide immediate value. Be patient: Give them time to respond and avoid overwhelming them with multiple follow-ups. Suggest a next step: If appropriate, propose a casual coffee meeting or chat without pressure.

To follow up after a networking event without seeming pushy, I focus on building a genuine connection. I send a brief, friendly message that mentions something we discussed, showing that I remember our conversation. I might also share a useful article or resource related to our chat, making it clear I’m interested in helping, not just selling. This way, the follow-up feels natural and invites future conversations.
