1 Plan ahead

Before you reach out to someone in a different time zone, do some research on their location, schedule, and preferences. Find out what are the best times to contact them, what are the common business etiquette and cultural norms, and what are their goals and interests. This will help you avoid awkward or inappropriate messages, show respect and curiosity, and tailor your communication to their needs.

2 Use tools

There are many tools that can help you network in a different time zone, such as online calendars, time zone converters, scheduling apps, and video conferencing platforms. Use these tools to keep track of your contacts' availability, set up meetings, send reminders, and have face-to-face conversations. Make sure you test your tools before using them, have a backup plan in case of technical issues, and use clear and concise language to avoid misunderstandings.

3 Be flexible

Networking in a different time zone requires some flexibility and compromise from both parties. You may have to adjust your routine, wake up earlier or stay up later, or reschedule your other tasks to accommodate your contacts' time zone. However, you should also respect your own limits and boundaries, and communicate them clearly to your contacts. Don't agree to meetings that are too inconvenient or disruptive for you, and don't expect your contacts to do the same.

I work with folks all across the United States and it is crucial to determine where people are located so you can communicate effectively. I try to schedule things in the recipients time zone and adjust accordingly on my end which will reduce any miscommunications since I'm used to working around other peoples time zones.

4 Follow up

One of the most important aspects of networking is following up. After you have a conversation or a meeting with someone in a different time zone, make sure you send a thank-you note, a summary of the main points, and a suggestion for the next steps. This will show your appreciation, interest, and professionalism, and keep the relationship alive. You can also use social media, newsletters, blogs, or podcasts to stay in touch and share valuable content.

5 Be patient

Networking in a different time zone can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially if you have to deal with delays, cancellations, or misunderstandings. However, you should be patient and understanding, and not take things personally. Remember that your contacts are also busy and may have different priorities, preferences, or challenges. Don't give up if you don't get a response right away, or if things don't go as planned. Keep trying, be respectful, and be open to learning.

Flexibility and patience is crucial to becoming a strong sales person. Being loose and open to rescheduling will help you capitalize on your opportunities and allow your potential partners to know you are easy to do business with. People appreciate those who show them grace, we all been late to a meeting or had something come up that changed schedules.
