The year is almost at an end. It’s time to check if you have reach your networking goals this year, and how you can reactivate your skills during the holiday season.
How can you reactivate all of your contacts and implement your follow-up system?
Send a greeting card just to say “Hi.” Important: don’t try to sell anything, you are here to build a relationship, not to do a sale pitch. Ask them how you could help, it is ALL ABOUT THEM NOT YOU. A couple of weeks after the card, give them a call to invite them for a drink or a coffee to learn more about their business. Invite them to join you at holiday parties. Listen to what they say and take notes to find out what you can do for them. Then write your notes down to use them later in your follow-up system.
Send a Holiday card, if it is the one action you will take by the end of the year, don’t miss this opportunity. Even if you didn’t see them or spoke with them for months, it is the perfect time to reactivate the connection and come back to the top of their mind. Don’t forget to put them on your follow-up system so by next year you won’t be months without keeping in touch with them on a regular basis.
