I *totally* agree with you. If I don't leave a networking event with a list of things I need to do then I don't view it as a successful event. For the system I use that list doesn't have anything to do with the business cards I'm holding though. I use my planner for that and during the event make a running list of things I need to do...send Joe that power point template, introduce Deb to Heather, send Lisa the link for tweetdeck...you get the idea. To me that list is completely independent of what I do with the business cards. Maybe Joe already has an assistant so he isn't what I consider hot but I can still help him by sending the template. Deb and Heather are both into biking and I simply thinking introducing them would be a great connection to make. Your point is very valid. Thanks for stopping by Geoff!

Networking is a TWO way street. Anyone who attendes a business networking event JUST to see what they can get from it really does not understand the way that networking works!

Although it can be kind of pain, the reality is that your time and effort at the event is wasted unless you follow-up...and sadly a lot of people don't follow-up. Thanks for sharing. Shawn Sundi,

Great post and plan that most people struggle with. Although it can be kind of pain, the reality is that your time and effort at the event is wasted unless you follow-up…and sadly a lot of people don’t follow-up.

Thanks for sharing.
