We all have THAT stack of cards on our desk. You know, the one that keeps saying to you “look
at me! I have the connection you are looking for.” Nevertheless, we ignore
those cards. Way too many of them and
never enough time to really go through the cards, throw in the trash the ones
that you will never call and call the ones you should. So how can you make this card vetting a less
detestable task?
One way of course is by calling The Ivy Network and we can do that for you. That is part of our service. We vet through, investigate and come
up with the list of those connections you should reach out to. And we will even reach out and set up the
meeting for you. With years of
networking connecting under our belts, we know who to throw and who to
meet. We don’t waste time, we are
serious networkers, not schmoozers or wheel spinners.
A couple of
other tips before I finish…
Pile
the Pile – Have established piles labeled with titles that will make you act
- definite, not so much, NO – you can throw these out immediately. As soon as
you get back to the office, pile your pile.
Calendar
Time – Just like you do to meet a person, calendar time to meet your cards
and contacts.
Keep
it a Mole Hill, Not a Mountain – With time calendared, clean out your
piles. Don’t just clean, make
appointments. And yes, that DOES mean
call!
