Has anyone got any good standard e-mail layouts for following up after a networking event to meet a potential client?

To u introverts out there. I am the biggest one. The feeling of exhaustion/anxiety at a social event is all to real. Until i began to mirror a friend of mine that seemed to be a natural expert. ever so slightly i then began to develop the skill. It gets easier and easier as it comes

I’m just learning how to do this and beginning to see success. It’s amazing how just reaching out to others brings in new potential clients and friends.

I remember watching some TV interviews with various famous, successful people, and one useful trait I noticed being mentioned frequently was being naturally curious.

It helps to be curious about people, things going on, and almost anything.

Not only will you learn a lot and get a better idea of what’s happening in your line of work or social environment, it will also shift the conversational focus to the person you’re talking with.

This goes right along with Antonio’s “Referable Tip #4: Listen and Show Interest.” If you are naturally curious, that will be easy.

I think there is a need for an example on “being of use,” like a situation or a dialogue. I have a little difficulty picturing it out.

Thanks.

Antonio,

Loved the article! “Ask for help, offer value, and maintain the relationships.” Your treatment was balanced and practical-just the sort of thing we expect from AoM. What we did not expect was an article from you that was not about clothing! You should do this more often…

I agree that networking is about give and recieve, but, what about when you recommend a friend or acquaintance to someone and it turns out to be a mess (e.g. a bad employee, irresponsible etc)? How do you manage this kind of situations? After all, it also affects your personal image.

Another briliant post, thanks Antonio.
That is exactly what I need right now.
