[Fredslist] Promo: A True Tale: How to Not Slip Up on Networking When You Slip

[Adrian Miller]

Hi

I slipped on an oil slick in the garage at the Baltimore Marriott.  
Reacting quickly---and wildly---I decided that saving my laptop was  
far and away better than saving my body and so I lunged forward with  
my left leg to catch myself and landed with a thud as the ankle gave  
away and turned aggressively to the side.

Eight hours later, leg propped up, ice bag at the ready for the  
prescribed 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off and best of all, feeling  
some relief from the painkillers, I embarked on my plans for the  
following day.

Slip notwithstanding there were emails to send, calls to make, snail  
mail to send. Prospects to reconnect with, clients to follow-up with  
and networking connections to pursue. I wouldn’t be running anytime  
soon but that didn’t mean my fingers, brain and mouth could not be  
engaged.

Out of sight, out of mind.  Let yourself fall off the grid and you  
can be certain to not get any ROA from your business development  
efforts.

Can you spare a day or two or even a few? Sure you can.

But too many folks allow themselves to fall off the radar screen and  
then wonder where the business has gone or why it isn’t being landed  
in first place.

Happy Friday.
