Having a drawer full of business cards can be overwhelming. Create a system that will help you maintain regular contact with your network.
Microsoft Outlook, Excel, or JibberJobber are just a few programs that you can
use. How do your contacts prefer to stay
in contact? If you’re not sure, ask. Some folks may prefer email, while others
may like a phone call or a thoughtful card. Add that information into your
contact management system. Be sure to add a reminder to follow-up with your
contacts on a specified date.
And
what ever system you use, make sure to “circle back” to the person who
introduced you. You will be amazed by the feedback you get when you call or
email someone saying something like “I really enjoyed meeting your friend Jane
Doe the other day. She was very helpful. Thanks again and let me know how I can
help you.”
