Networking Follow-Up That Actually Works

Most opportunities are lost between event night and the following week. The fix is simple: send concise, intentional follow-up with one clear next action.

Within 24 hours, send a short note that references the conversation and proposes a practical next step. This might be a 20-minute call, a warm intro, or a resource share.

After your first follow-up, put people into a light cadence. Monthly check-ins keep relationships warm and make future referrals feel natural instead of transactional.
