This afternoon I spoke to a great networking group in Newmarket - Executive Mentors. My topic was database managment. Do you have a business card collection in a shoe box? Do you have any idea how much money and time that shoe box cost you? Do you understand that if the only place that you have your contact information for those other business owners is in the shoe box then it is worth nothing.
Try to stay on top of inputting the contact info everyday. If you go to a big event and you can not deal with it at the time then I would suggest putting the cards in a baggie and labelling it so you know where you met those people.
Watch for e-mails that have new contact info.
Never give up on the contacts....go ahead and put them in your list. Just tell people where you met and then get on with building your business relationship.
Database management is important to get contact info and continues with your tracking on all interactions with a potential client.
Get your system in place to bring your database upto date. If you need help setting up your system or actually inputting your data - call Cheryl at 647-287-0320.
