  If very few business owners are able to effectively follow up after networking with someone, shouldn't that be a "no brainer" thing for you to get into place today? Productive networking is about more than collecting cards.  Two: When you do follow up with a new contact, add value.

Even if it's only a twinge that wakes you up in the middle of the night, it's there. The doubts linger as you attend another networking event. You have little to show for your efforts, other than jaw pain from smiling too much and a few paper cuts from passing out so many business cards. You're not alone.

What you need to understand is that promoting your brand isn’t a one-off gig – you need to keep up a steady stream of positive impressions on a daily basis. Sometimes they’ll pick up those clues via written channels : They note the tone of your email. They read a blog you’ve written. They assess your hairstyle and make-up.
