Networking is THE most brilliant way to meet new people. A chance to see who’s behind the avatar!
But do you follow up with your connections after you’ve attended the networking events?
Here’s some surprising figures to encourage you to follow up sand connect again:
*80% of sales are made on the 5th to 12th contact. (*McGraw Hill Research)
Sadly, it can be like a cold first date. Waiting to hear from them for a second date won’t work!
You need to take the time to build the relationships and the results will follow.
* Only about 50% of people even follow up once.
25% follow up twice.
and only 12% follow up three times.
So, be different and take the initiative to follow up more. You will make more sales this way.
