When you have a one on-one meeting or attend a networking event, make an appointment with yourself later that day or immediately the next morning to write e-mails, make phone calls, and write thank-you notes. If you don’t schedule it, it probably won’t get done. You need to be organized, and you need to have a system to support you. Otherwise, all you’ll be doing is meeting a lot of people and running all around town for nothing.
