Many people are constantly on the move. As in, they are moving, or at least traveling, all over the nation, or globe. So how do you keep in touch with them?

I think that the easiest way to do this is to make use of the Internet. They have email address, and likely also have internet profiles at LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter.

Make use of their online presence to keep in touch with them.

Have you had some experience dealing with traveling networks of people? What are your suggestions for communicating with them and letting them know that you exist?

I went on a week long vacation and one of the things that I did while I was on the vacation is start to send my networking partners emails.

The emails thanked them for everything that they had done for me up to that point. Just a simple, honest-to-goodness thank you note. It was received really well, too.

Since I wasn’t really able to make any commitments to meetings or anything, I just sent out thank you notes. It was really powerful because it was something that I hadn’t done much of in the past. So I really build some credibility with my networking partners while I was out of town.

What are some strategies that you have employed to continue your networking when you were out of town? Fire us your thoughts in the comments below! :) .

The best way I can think to describe it is this. If you are holding a water balloon in your hand (I know it may have been a while, but work with me here ;) )  and you want it to go somewhere, it isn’t going to move unless you apply some kind of pressure to it. If you squeeze the bottom of the balloon, it will do one of two things.

  1. All the water will travel up through the balloon in the direction you’d like it to go.
  2. The balloon will explode all over you and then you can throw it away and be done with it.

Now to bring this back to dealing with people. If you give them a bit of a squeeze (ask them if they are in or out) they will make it clear what their intentions are.

Offer them the option to leave or stay, but don’t let them sit still. Squeezing them a little bit and forcing them to decide to commit or leave is going to be the best thing that you can do for them, because without commitment, they aren’t going to be any good for you or your business or even to themselves. They would be misplaced.

If you want a relationship to work, one which you blew out of the water in the first place, then you need to stand up straight and apologize. People are often more forgiving than they look.

Be sure to follow your apology with a commitment, and then be sure to stick close with your commitment to help build trust with the person who you let drop.

I have had the unfortunate occasion to have to deal with this a select few times, and this strategy has worked wonderfully for me :) .

Social media networks like LinkedIn and Facebook have fairly loose policies (read: almost non-existent) about who can connect with who and so people are inviting other people into their networks all the time who they don’t actually know.

Is this a wise practice?  Well, lets take a look at the pros and cons:

Pros

  • You will be connected to waaaayyyy more people, which opens up your reach of who you can contact and communicate with.
  • You will be able to browse more information for doing research.
  • You will be able to keep tabs on a larger segment of the online population.
  • Opportunities will become available to you because you will notice someone updating with status, or asking a question, or something that alerts you to a golden chance you would have missed otherwise.

Cons

Well…. one big con. You won’t know anyone in your online network, so your connection to them is one step above meaningless.

Some people go with a smaller, but more tight knit network. Others connect with everyone and their brother, hoping that mass builds their network.

However, there are still pockets of people hanging out that don’t get on the Internet.

They are growing smaller and more far apart, but they are still large enough that it merits keeping privvy with networking skills we had before we got online.

One tactic you can use to network with people who are not web savvy, is to host events.

Hosting events is a wonderful way to build relationships with local business people. Just establish a location and start inviting people. Make sure to come up with a driving reason why they should be at the event.

People won’t come to an event they don’t see any benefit in attending. So be careful to craft a tempting offer and then let the games begin!
