Stay Top-of-Mind: The Power of Consistent Follow-Up in Networking

Networking isn’t just about making connections—it’s about keeping them.

You can attend all the events, collect all the business cards, and send all the LinkedIn requests—but if you’re not following up consistently, those relationships fade fast.

The truth? Opportunities come from staying top-of-mind.

80% of sales and partnerships require at least 5 follow-ups—but most people stop at 1 (HubSpot).

So, how do you nurture relationships without feeling pushy?

The 3-Touch Follow-Up System:
Day 1: Send a quick thank-you or LinkedIn connection request.
Week 2: Add value—share an article, introduce them to someone, or check in.
Month 1: Reconnect with a personalized message or invite them to a networking event.

The best follow-ups don’t ask for anything—they offer support, encouragement, and value.

By making follow-up a habit, you’ll turn casual connections into real relationships—and those relationships lead to new clients, collaborations, and opportunities.
