But this was the consensus of several people, so I was overruled. And yes - that's a <em>great</em> example of how following up can be incredibly simple and get good results! Thank you!

Here's something I did when I was doing a lot of networking events. I would just sent them an email saying how much I enjoyed meeting them and providing anything I had said I'd send (finding something makes contacting them easier). The signature on that email would have a link to my pink spoon offer (freebie for subscribing), and lots of them followed through and subscribed.

Yes, it's not seeing it as a step in the process that trips people up. We're all so wrapped up in getting through the event itself, we forget there's something <em>else</em> that has to happen afterwards! I'm glad it was timely for you - and thanks for your comment.

For lots of things, follow up seems to be where a lot of us fall down. I certainly do. Probably because we don't identify it as a separate, and just as important, step in the process. Having had a few friends give me some leads on some things I'm interested in at the moment just recently, this is quite timely. At the very least, if I can't properly follow up, I'll let them know (but thank them for the lead)... Thanks for the post. That is very true.
