This is the 22nd blog post in a series taken from my book ‘Networking tips for busy female professionals’. Each week, we will take a tip from the book and publish it in a blog post.
LinkedIn is a great way of keeping in touch with people after you have met with them at a networking event. Many people are on social media, but don’t display this information on their business card.
You may like to find out if they are on twitter or any other social media sites that you frequent. Do remember to ask permission to connect with them after the event.
Many people, like myself, use facebook for keeping in contact with their personal network. Although I now have a fan page for The Efficiency Coach, http://www.facebook.com/TheEfficiencyCoach, I would feel very awkward if asked to connect with someone I have just met at a networking event on facebook.
Action Points:
- Get a LinkedIn account and fill in your profile
- Next time you are out networking, specifically ask to connect with at least three people you meet on LinkedIn.
