Meeting people is critical to professional success. But also more importantly - it’s just fab to meet in person people from your community or thank them for that tip or even just their time. Let them know how they added value, are you still interested in talking about that potential new role? Do you have an update on that great craft beer place they recommended, or just to update them on the classical Lord of the Rings concert…
TestBash is a great event to build a real network with strong relationships - so let’s follow up effectively.
Day 7 Task:
Message someone you met at Testbash about anything. Maybe give thanks, feedback, thoughts on a talk. Either on Slack, The Club, reply to them here in the thread or even on socials on Linkedin.
The messaging world is your oyster.
Why Take Part:
- Building relationships: A follow-up message can help strengthen the relationship you’ve established. It shows that you value the other person’s perspective and are interested in staying in touch.
- Showing you’re proactive: Sending a follow-up message or linkedin request within a week of meeting shows that you’re proactive and want to get things done. You enjoyed your conversation or want to know more.
You got this!
