1/7

The follow-up is where the real networking happens

Meeting someone at an event means nothing if you don't follow up. A strong follow-up within 24–48 hours turns a brief chat into a professional relationship. The best follow-ups are: - **Timely**. sent within 1–2 days - **Specific**. reference something from your conversation - **Low-pressure**. suggest a next step without being pushy

It was great meeting you at the summit yesterday.

Opens with context.

I really enjoyed our conversation about market expansion in Southeast Asia.

Shows you were listening.

I'd love to continue the conversation over coffee sometime. No rush.

Low-pressure next step.
