What to do after you leave a networking event
When talking and thinking about ‘networking’ the first thing that pops into people’s heads is actual networking events. Standing in a room full of people, attempting to make connections, build relationships and find leads.
However – a networking event is just the introduction stage of the networking process. It’s often thought of as the most daunting stage, therefore the hardest, but actually it’s just about making a good first impression and setting yourself up for the start of a networking process.
The real work starts when you leave an event, armed with business cards and ideas as for how you’re going to turn those introductions into referrals.
There are a number of steps to follow after that initial introduction and I thought I’d cover some old ground and outline them. Please click on the link below to read a great article from the BNI Central London region.
