Throughout the weeks, people come and go, we meet them but rarely take the time to get to know them. If you like me, have a good conversation, hand out a business card and get a business card, all that’s lacking to create a relationship is follow up.
What would happen if that stack of cards in your desk drawer as an example, instead of just putting the next 100 cards aside you follow through? It may be difficult with that old pile, but you can start anew.
We get all caught up with social media, hoping to attract business through our outreach, but we often miss the old-fashion handshake meeting and developing a connection that’s right there, right now!
Here’s my connection plan;
1. Follow up by email within 24 hours
2. If they respond – Ask to connect on LinkedIn
3. If they reply positively – Send a Thank You – Email
4, With that positive return, I ask them to Check out my YouTube Channel
Be sure to return the connection, follow them, support their work, and you’ll have a friend and a customer waiting in the wings for life. Not everyone is our customer, but everyone knows someone who knows a person who could be!
People Come and Go in our lives; it’s up to us to connect!
