The Art of the Follow-Up: Why One Conversation Isn’t Enough
Apr 23, 2025
Most people stop at the first ‘nice to meet you.’ But opportunity lives in the next conversation.
1. Time Your Follow-Up
Within 24–48 hours, send a short, warm message. Mention a shared insight or mutual contact.
2. Make It Easy to Reconnect
Offer a virtual coffee. Suggest a helpful resource. Could you keep it simple and no-pressure?
3. Create a Follow-Up Habit
Every Friday, follow up with three people you met this month. It doesn’t have to be sales-y; just stay in touch.
"Relationships aren’t built in one message. They grow in the space between conversations."
