reminds them of where we met (bonus points if you can include a quote from the speaker that you can say really resonated with you). If you made a good first impression, they will quickly remember you and the conversation you had, where you built credibility and trust for yourself. Another important thing to remember when following up is to have a purpose. Don’t just ask for something or to “Pick their brain” try to provide value by offering to make a connection or something other than just trying to sell them on
something. Sometimes it can take some time to get a reply, industry leaders are busy people who might not often check their mailbox regularly so one thing that can help you get their attention is to engage with them and their content on LinkedIn. Reacting to their content and leaving meaningful comments can go a long way in helping to book a call. Hopefully, these tips can help you plan for your next event or conference and prepare you to successfully make more meaningful and strong connections with speakers.
