I recommend: 1) Prioritize the cards you collect and respond to those people within a week of the networking event. 2) Put these people into your database of contacts (the NEAT scanner works great!) 3) Put all the cards in an envelope identiying the event and date and file away. When you go to a follow up event you can review the cards and remind yourself of the names of those you already met. <br />Don Gaborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262082480469516464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995434027558876171.post-60197879991624679912013-02-22T04:05:32.243-08:002013-02-22T04:05:32.243-08:00Dear Don,wondering if u had any advice for 'vo...Dear Don,wondering if u had any advice for 'volume networking'.I recently shredded about 40% of the biz cards i had collected over 10 yrs of conferences,realizing i dont even recall who those ppl are(am sure they don't recall me either).Nowadays i only keep contacts who seem meaningful and last a while. Wish i could attend the NYC workshop,but too far away :( Thanks, MalaVardhinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209559206338029509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995434027558876171.post-11733974564668190602013-02-21T08:31:10.319-08:002013-02-21T08:31:10.319-08:00Right, we're all becoming techies to one degre...Right, we're all becoming techies to one degree or another.<br />Don Gaborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262082480469516464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995434027558876171.post-76662347332101410892013-02-21T07:54:23.983-08:002013-02-21T07:54:23.983-08:00This is an important topic even for non-tech types...This is an important topic even for non-tech types. We're so reliant on text/email/social media we're losing the art-and pleasure-of connecting in person, which is really the only way to build relationships, trust and/or business.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746920267911481285noreply@blogger.com
