Network Like a Pro! Part 2: From Contacts to Contracts: Effective Follow-Up Tactics

Scale Up Strategies: The Business Podcast for Coaches, Consultants, and Speakers

Can mastering your follow-up game after a networking event unlock doors to business success? This week on Scale Up Strategies, we tackle the crucial art of effective follow-up communications.
Mary shares her secret weapon—AI-generated email templates—for crafting personalized and timely messages, while Laura emphasizes the importance of scheduling dedicated follow-up time right after an event.
We'll guide you on how to avoid the common mistake of spamming new contacts and the necessity of obtaining permission before adding anyone to your email lists.
Learn from our recent experiences where diligent follow-ups transitioned casual conversations into valuable opportunities, proving that the real work begins after the initial handshake.
But that's not all. Consistent networking is the lifeblood of business growth, and we're revealing how you can make it a strategic part of your plan.
From integrating a CRM system to keep your connections organized to the benefits of staying engaged on social media, we cover it all.
We suggest attending a minimum of four networking events per month and getting involved in chamber committees to boost your recognition.
Building trust takes time, and we're here to show you how the 3C method—Connect, Cultivate, Convert—can help turn those connections into lasting business relationships.
Grab your favorite cup of coffee and prepare for actionable tips that can elevate your networking game to new heights!
