Getting more from a conference
- Book meetings before you go. The best conversations are scheduled weeks ahead, not found in the hallway.
- Follow up within a week. Interest fades fast after an event. A short call while the conference is still fresh does more than an email weeks later.
- Bring your own events into the plan. If your organization hosts a gala or donor event, the same before-and-after outreach applies. See how we approach event calling.
