Tips on following up with new people you meet at social and networking events

Episode 44 of Building Your Law Practice with Jim Thompson and Nick Augustine Let’s get back to the basics of social and business interactions and focus on following up with people we want to know, like and build trust.

Many bring the collection of new business cards back to simply set them on a pile and leave them to collect dust. Break the cycle and get to really know them.
