How well you do your follow-up (or not) can either build up or tear down to your professional reputation.

“In many ways, you are your follow-up. It’s an observable example of what it’s like to work with you and/or be your friend. How you follow-up with networking leads and connections is a demonstration that you’re worthy of future investment (or not)” – Claudia Lindsey, Marketing Executive

Are you falling short in your follow-up?

Your fortune is in your follow-up

If so, this program can help you! The key message in the Motivated Networking Follow-Up program is that if you want more value from your networking investment of time, money and effort, then you must create a systemic approach to their follow-up.

We then motivate and enlighten your participants to create a networking follow-up system that meets the following 7 criteria. Your networking follow-up must be:

• Targeted - decide who you are going to invest your time in. While everyone has value; you must strategically choose with whom you will spend your time and energy with;
• Helpful - your follow-up helps to solve their problems and creates value for other people;
• Efficient - your follow-up is easy to do and it works for you and the other parties;
• Reliable - they can count on you to do what you promised that you would do in a timely, fashion and consistent manner;
• Accessible - you are in their life; you’ll be there for them. You reach out on a frequent basis and are visible and available to them (on-line and off-line);
• Personalized - your follow-up makes them smile and they know that you care about them.
• Yippee – You must strive to have fun with your networking and follow-up; otherwise it will be different to maintain the positive motivation to do it!

Te first initials of all of these 7 concepts spells out THERAPY. In many ways, effective follow-up is like therapy to your networking relationships.

What are people saying about the program Motivated Networking Follow-Up?

“During a networking lunch meeting yesterday with a new contact, I was told that I am now considered one of the top networkers by a mutual set of contacts. You should know, this is not a label I have had attributed to me before – and certainly a result of your Motivated Networking Follow-Up webinar.” – Mark Yaphe, CEO,  ExecuThink

“I found your session to be very transformative in my way of thinking about networking.  I took your suggestion and acted quickly, exchanging cards at the Schmoozer’s network event.  I then did immediate follow-up, which felt very productive and ’soulful’.   Connecting to people in meaningful ways is, indeed, superior to transaction dealings only when one needs or wants something.   I have told a couple of people about how much your presentation impacted me and I indicated that it will make me a better person, and hence ultimately a better employee.” – Leslie Adler, CT

“In just 20 minutes, Kathy McAfee gave me at least 6 valuable tools I believe will be a ‘game changer’ in the way I manage my networking relationships.” - Stephanie Abrams, Executive Producer, Media Connections

“Kathy gave our chamber a clear, concise presentation on Motivated Follow-Up that has inspired me to move forward toward networking and finding the people who will help my business grow. Thank you, Kathy.” – Kim Bova, Kim Bova Photography

“I loved the session. Kathy makes you see the importance of networking and how following through with your contacts can create magic for your business.” – Ileana Sybert, Realtor, Coldwell Banker.

“I attended both of your sessions today (referencing Perfect Your Pitch and Motivated Networking Follow-Up). I feel like a light bulb went off and cleared the process for me.” – Mary Beth Berrien
