I made sure I shared all of the training content and speaker’s wisdom with my network and I retweeted other attendee’s updates, which I was aware of because I followed the show’s hashtag. They were to meet with the assistants that read my blog and put some faces to names. I will share my new found knowledge with my network.

A while ago I wrote about how followup is one activity that many entrepreneurs fail to do , yet it is also the one activity that can really make you stand out from your competitors. Productive networking is about more than collecting cards.  It is about making a connection that will last and build your business.

But the problem may not be the networking, but your approach.
