Within 24 hours: follow up “It was great to meet you, I hope our paths cross again." Within 7 days: connect with them on their preferred social media platform.
(When you first meet them be sure to ask in conversation, “Where do you hang out on social media?”)
Within 30 days: reach out to them for a face-to-face meeting or phone call to learn more about what they do. https://bit.ly/3NHdRb5

I am getting ready to restart the DEEP DIVE series. These weekly sessions will cover nearly every function in BNI Connect and BNI Business Builder. Click the registrations to see the list of topics and please share with the appropriate teams. Last time we had several hundred members on each session from around the world, so it is also a great opportunity for doing some networking through the chat bar and setup international 1 to 1s. The sessions will be added to the regional and national event calendars by the end of the week.
