I am continually amazed at how many people attend networking receptions and events, but do not follow up with their contacts afterwards. I've been able to make some amazing connections simply by showing up... taking the initiative to follow up, remember the individuals I spoke with, and the details of our conversation. One strategy I find helpful is to send something to my contacts about 24-48 hours after meeting them that they'll find useful... an interesting article from their area of expertise, the name and contact info for a colleague that could be helpful, etc. Thanks again for a great article.
