You're out networking and meeting new people?

Great!

And you remember to get their business card?

Another great!

And you ask them what they do or what they are interested in, yes?

Yoo hoo!

And your parting remark as you go on to meet more people is "let's keep in touch?"

Fabulous!

So what remains?

You put them in your database and do your follow-up before your head hits the pillow.

A recommended method is an email to generate hard copy for your files and theirs.

Start with something like "What a pleasure meeting you!"

Then "I look forward to learning more about you."

And end with "Should you know of someone who needs (fill in what it is you do), please think of me."

That's it.

Piece of cake.

Keep in touch by sending your newsletter or periodic updates and connect with them on social media like Facebook and LinkedIn.

Remember to include in your notes where you met them and what they might be seeking assistance with.

Come have breakfast with us Wednesday and we'll show you how to turn your contacts into clients!

On This Day In History - September 18th
1837
Future jewelry giant opens shop in Manhattan
Charles Lewis Tiffany uses $1,000 borrowed from his father to open a "stationery and fancy goods emporium" in downtown Manhattan. While the iconic blue box is there at the beginning, a switch less than a decade later from costume jewelry to the precious stuff turns the sales tide at Tiffany's.
1851
The news world's 'Gray Lady' is born
Whig Party politician Henry Raymond and ex-banker George Jones publish the inaugural issue of 'The New-York Daily Times.' It'll become better known by a shortened name, ' The New York Times,' go on to win more than a hundred Pulitzer Prizes, and be deemed the US newspaper of record.
1870
A cone geyser that shoots thousands of gallons of boiling water 125 feet into the air is named ' Old Faithful' by members of an expedition. The geyser's astounding show, repeated at regular intervals, will soon make it a star attraction, with some visitors using it to wash laundry, at what will soon be the world's first national park.
1960
Leftist revolutionary Fidel Castro, prime minister of Cuba after his forces
ousted Batista's government the year before, arrives in New York to meet
with Americans sympathetic to his cause, and will later speak at the UN.
His visit, at the height of Cold War, causes consternation in some and
sparks celebration in others.

Since 1983!
  A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
 Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.

With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 65,587
 people, generating 44,344 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions. 

Co-Op companies have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and some even internationally.
 
Our Entrepreneurial Research Division conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally,
commencing entrepreneurial courses.
