The Day Before You Meet Someone to Network

You rely upon people to book a meeting on their calendar, since you are generally not sending a meeting invite. Therefore, the day (not evening) before, I’d recommend the following:

ONE - Send a confirmation e-mail
A) Confirm meeting time and place
B) Provide your cell number
C) Specifically mention that you have attached your resume and marketing plan

TWO - Prep any referrals/contacts that you can offer
A) People that you know that could help build this person’s business, enable their search, etc.
B) If you are tracking your contacts, take a glance through them to get ideas for good connections of value

It’s a simple step with big results – I can’t tell you how many people did not put a meeting on their calendar, but still stuck with their commitment to meet. Also, coming with referrals and contacts makes the meeting a true networking event.

Good luck today!
