How to Follow Up After a Networking Event
The follow-up is where networking pays off
Meeting people at events is only half the battle. Without a structured follow-up plan, most connections go cold within a week. NexaLink CRM helps you organize, prioritize, and execute follow-ups so every handshake turns into a lasting professional relationship.
