When someone calls or contacts you,
respond promptly!
Every contact is potential business
and if you don’t respond to them quickly,
someone else is going to get their business.
Why not you?
Whenever someone does business with you
or you've just made a new contact,
send them a “thank you” or introduction email
within 48 hours.
Ask everyone you do business with to post a review to your Facebook or Google page and provide them with those links.
When you meet someone at a networking event,
follow these “follow through” action steps:
First and foremost,
always
get their contact info!
Then ask if you can add them to your contact list.
Most often, people say Yes!
Send them a personal email within 48 hours of the event.
Include a link to your website, Facebook or Google page
and something of interest that will encourage them to
stay connected with you.
Right after you send them an email,
automatically add them to your contact list.
Develop a follow through system and follow it!
You've made a connection,
so keep that momentum going!
When they respond to you,
respond to them within a few hours.
Send them a quick email with something of value
such as an invitation to an event
or a link to something informational or even fun
that you think they’d be interested in.
When possible, set up some personal one-on-one time
to get to know them better.
So, remember when
you've made an initial contact,
you've only made it to first base.
If you want to bring it home,
you've got to follow through!!
