You Networked, Collected Business Cards … Now What? Three Things You Can Do To Engage Deeper


http://www.thesocialmediaadvisor.com/Speaking_Events.html
If you are like me, you might attend multiple networking events each week. Not only is this a great opportunity to meet new people, but also collect contact information for connecting deeper. There are a few tactics I have in place when I connect with someone new that may benefit you if you are trying to optimize your networking experience.
(1) Remember a Few Key Take Aways From Your Visit 
Write down a few things you remember about this person that will spark a memory later when you send them an email thanking you for connecting and encourage a follow-up meeting.This is so very important and what a lot of people forget – EMAIL them a memory from your encounter.  It will not only show that your encounter was memorable, buut that you value their connection.
(2) Connect with them on LinkedIn
Connecting on LinkedIn takes the face to face meeting to a higher level showing your contact your interest on connecting further. Adding them to your “Professional Network on LinkedIn” provides them with a deeper visibility to you and vice verse.
(3) Visit Their Website and Connect With Your New Connect in Social Media Platforms 
If you take the extra step of visiting their website, you will probably learn a bit more about the service they offer, learn about potential networking opportunities, but also see if they have a presence in other social media platforms.  Fanning and Connecting to the other social platforms takes your engagement to a higher level of getting to know them and learning more about what they have to offer.
Networking is an opportunity to build relationship marketing on a deeper level.  You have already met the person, seen their face, heard their heart for their business and now you are taking that next step to get to know them better.  These 3 components may really enhance your next networking encounter.  Don’t just take a business card and walk away, take the time to dive deeper and it will open doors you may have never imagined.

Why can’t I see all of my friends posts on Facebook?

One of the most asked questions we get with Facebook, “Why can’t I see all of my friends posts?”  When you have over 100 friends & have “liked” a myriad of pages, it is nearly impossible to keep up with everyone you are connected to. 



The Facebook news stream only shows you posts from people you are most active with.  If they “like” or “comment” on one or more of your posts, and you do so in return, chances are you will have higher probability of seeing a status update from them.

So what are things you can do to see updates from people you haven’t connected to in a while?

(1)    Categorize your Friends and Fan Pages

(a) Select your friends list from your profile page
(b) Move your cursor over the Friends box next to their name
(c) A drop down box will pop up allowing you to select a category for that friend or “Add to another list”
(d) Create as many “lists” as you prefer, your connections will not be able to see the titles ot the categories you have organized them under.  As updates happen, you will see a number next to the “list” letting you know there is a new update.

(2)    Mark your closest Friends & Family as “Close” for notifications once they post an update.  They will be marked with a “gold” star next to the word “friends” and their updates will show up in notifications.  This is similar to subscribing to their updates.

(3)    Visit your friends & Fan Pages and find a post to “Like” or “Comment” to start seeing their updates

How will you see updates?

The updates on Friends or Fan Pages will either begin to show up on your news feed or you can simply scroll down the left side of the page to view updates from your “Categories”

What if I only want to see certain kinds of updates from friends?

Some people just aren’t fans of the games or applications.  Other people prefer pictures, videos or ALL updates.  You can go to your friends page and you can specifically select the types of updates you actually see.

(1)    Go to your friends profile page

(2)    Select the “Friends” button and select the options in the drop down menu you would like to see updates about them under Settings
