4 Things To Do After a Networking Event

Networking events are great for entrepreneurs and startups to get together. You can meet all kinds of new people that can advise or turn into clients. You can bounce ideas off of others. You can learn new things, increasing your bottom line.

Here are some action items you should do after a networking event when you are pumped up and excited about your business and all of the people that you have met.

• Write down all of the things that you learned at the event. It is important that you write down things that are important to you so you don’t forget anything that you wanted to remember.  I prefer to step aside and tell Siri things like, "Remind me to research Online Jobs dot Ph for virtual assistants."
• Write down information about all of the people that you met at the event. You can even do this on their business cards if that helps you to keep them straight.  Even if it's just one word.
• Send an email to everyone who you met at the event. However, it is important that you do this in the next day or two. Otherwise, you will forget to do this. It can be a simple email telling them that you were glad to meet them.  
  Pro Tip:  Ask people you talk to if they're on LinkedIn, and then tell them you'll find them.  This is particularly powerful if you post a blog every week as it will ping all of them.  
• Make sure that you are ready for your next event. Make sure that you have refuel your business card holder for your next networking event.

It is important to come home from a networking event and write down everything so you don’t forget it. You should also write down information about the people that you met! Then, email or add everyone in the next day or two so that they don’t forget you!
