Following up is a great skillset. It’s something to differentiate yourself from others. If you follow up whatever you want to accomplish, eventually is going to happen. Unless if you don’t give up.
If you don’t have this skill set, here are the top best practices for you:
-
Add everything on your calendar
-
Take notes during the meetings then share those as follow-up notes
-
Remind yourself that person with their happy moments such as birthdays, new job changes or even liking their post on social media. ( I always check who’s liking my post on Linkedin)
-
Create a system not to follow up manually. So many tools out there. It can remind you what you need to do
It sounds like a business-post however following up a life or death character for me. If you have it, your life is going to change dramatically. You will end meet up so many cool people and find great life changer opportunities. Everyone loves people send them great messages without selling anything just sharing their joyful times.
On your followups, your message should be short, sweet and sexy. I’ll write about this topic of future posts. If I don’t next 30 posts, follow me up:)
