How can you stay in touch with contacts without being pushy?

Check in periodically and see how people are doing. Offer them some relevant information, letting them know you are thinking of them. Invite them to an event or get together.

Staying in touch with people on LinkedIn is like using a bank account. You need to make regular deposits before you can make a decent sized withdrawal. In other words, keep in touch on a regular basis as you would with an acquaintance in real life. Then you'll have plenty of goodwill in the bank when you need it.

Building a meaningful professional connection begins by creating a clear communication channel. This involves not just determining how often to communicate but also selecting the mediums, such as phone, email, or social media platforms.Start by observing and adapting to the other person's style, tone, and non-verbal cues. This approach shows empathy and respect, facilitating a smoother interaction. Maintaining a balance is key. Occasional commenting on their posts or sharing relevant information can keep the relationship warm, but it’s important to avoid overwhelming them. The aim is to foster a connection where both parties feel valued, respected, and benefit from the relationship.

Quando estiver em busca de novas opirtunidades, busque contato com profissionais de outras empresas que fazem o mesmo que você ou que estão acima. Comente em posts que tenham a ver com seu momento. Lembre-se de acolher e não repelir com comentários e fofocas que não são adequados nessa rede.

When it comes to staying in touch, consistency is key. But one size doesn't fit all. Try different approaches and stick to one that works best for you and your contact. Do you prefer a phone call check in? Do they like a text message or an e-mail check in as opposed to a phone call? Do they prefer a weekday check in as opposed to a weekend? Once you've figured out the best approach, be open, bold and consistent. Consistency will help build buy in. To stay consistent, plan and have a disciplined check in schedule in your diary/calendar.

Professional networking can be likened to managing a bank account: you must deposit value before making withdrawals. It's important to contribute positively to someone's professional journey before seeking benefits in return. Instead of offering generic advice, tailor your interactions to be relevant and thoughtful. This could involve sending a message that references a previous conversation, showing that you're genuinely engaged and interested in their experiences. Just asking how you can be of help, even with simple queries, demonstrates your willingness to support them. Such gestures of goodwill lay the foundation for a reciprocal relationship.

Add values to your contacts lives, help them grow, contribute immensely to their elevation and development. They would be attracted to you instead.

It requires a delicate balance. Instead of bombarding them with constant messages or requests, focus on building genuine relationships. Stay updated on their professional endeavors through social media or industry events, and engage with their content by leaving meaningful comments or sharing relevant resources. Occasionally, reach out with personalized messages to check in on them, share interesting articles, or congratulate them on their achievements. It's important to be authentic and respectful of their time and boundaries, ensuring that your interactions add value to their lives as well.

If truly you value the contact, you must be willing to add value. From experience, there is no shortcut to this: you must be willing to put in the time to understand your contact. What do they like? What don't they like? Be genuine, be thoughtful and add value. No one is an Island, there must be something you know or have that your contact will find value-adding. Understand what those are, and focus on them as you stay in touch with your contacts.

I agree with the notion of reciprocity. After all, networking is all about relationships. If you’re always asking for something and never giving back, that’s not much of a relationship. That said, another way to nurture a relationship is to simply check in. (“I haven’t seen in you in a while. Thinking about you. How is your family?”)

Listening is a good communication skill and appropriate response is a bigger one in keeping contacts. It shows they are valued and their thoughts and expression hits and pique your interest. They will build solid rapport with you through this and then trust can be established.

Staying in touch without being pushy is all about finding a balance. Try initiating conversations with genuine interest, focusing on mutual interests or shared experiences. Keep your interactions spaced out, and be attentive to their responses and cues. Also, consider their preferred communication channels and respect their boundaries.

In trying to stay in touch with your contacts, avoid as much as possible the urge to be inconsiderate. Listen and understand the signals your contacts' response or lack of it is sending to you. Sometimes, it's OK if contacts want to be left alone. Respect that and be considerate. If they engage, be appreciative and prompt in your response.

Listening to their feedback goes beyond the meeting. Follow up on any recommended actions, thank them for their feedback, and let them know you’ve taken action on it.

Uma das habilidades mais importantes para bons comunicadores é a escutatória, a arte de ouvir atentamente a pessoa com quem está interagindo. Não apenas no dia, mas de vez em quando, lembrar de algo que interessa a pessoa e mandar a ela algo que leu e viu e compartilhar com ela. Assim, você vai estreitando seus vínculos com as pessoas.

Being respectful of their time is paramount. I recommend never going longer than the allotted time unless they insist. One way to help with time management is having an agenda.

Communicating in a professional context, much like any other form of interaction, requires politeness, respect, and authenticity. It's essential to be true to yourself in these exchanges. Building a solid and rewarding professional relationship is challenging if you're struggling to express yourself genuinely or experiencing frequent misunderstandings. In such cases, it's wise to reassess the value of investing further in that particular relationship. This decision is perfectly acceptable. The professional world is vast, with numerous individuals and networking opportunities available. Remember, not every connection has to work out; focusing your efforts where they feel most rewarding is key to effective networking.

As pessoas naturalmente irão te respeitar mais se você souber quem você é, a maneira como você faz as coisas e os limites que você coloca em suas relações. A autenticidade está ligada a sua essência, o que você gosta, mas também o que você tolera.

Be a giver first, and share generously, and just ask for feedback in return. These are powerful forces, reciprocity and the feeling of helping another. Those who give you feedback become invested in your story. Without feeling like you want something from them. You become connected, and they will naturally think of you for opportunities connected to your feedback. Ideally the relationship becomes reciprocal, and you can offer to develop it into a personal board or accountability partner relationship. Which can be so valuable in time.

A humildade é dos pontos mais importantes para poder crescer. Pedir feedbacks (conselhos de como poderia ter feito diferente) e feedforwards (conselhos de como você pode fazer daqui para frente). Busque pessoas que você admire e respeite em seu entorno e peça sua opinião. Naturalmente, esteja com seu ego controlado para que possa ouvir atentamente e melhorar daqui para frente.

Following up and "passively" remaining in front of your audience is where marketing automation can be a huge asset to your business. I've talked to prospective clients who didn't buy right away but came back a year (years!) later after getting newsletters, updates, and other email marketing correspondence sent to my list. In the age of social media and spam, YES, email marketing still works! Creating funnels that contacts go into shortly after joining your list is a good way to build familiarity and trust right off the bat, and then you can spread the follow-up out to something more reasonable so you're not hounding them constantly. PS: LinkedIn is also a great way to stay in front of your audience without being aggressive!

Use what I call the Portable Electronic Granular (PEG) Database, home of detailed profiles of everyone you know. It allows you to deepen relationships with those who can hire or refer you for work. It lives in your smartphone, and includes your contact’s phone numbers/addresses/emails/websites/where they’ve lived and worked/job titles/significant others/children/pets/birthdays/anniversaries/hobbies/interests, and their preferred way to communicate. How do you obtain all this info? resources in the About Section of my LI profile. Program your PEG to alert you when there are significant events coming up in the lives of your contacts so you can reach out to them based on THEIR needs. This will get you back on their radar on a regular basis.

Ao estabelecer contato com seus contatos, assegure-se de que suas mensagens sejam pertinentes para eles. Evite enviar comunicações genéricas ou promocionais. Em vez disso, busque estabelecer conexões autênticas ao compartilhar insights, artigos relevantes ou oportunidades que possam agregar valor.

Start a newsletter! Ask contacts you'd like to keep in touch with if you can add them to your list. Then, publish 1-4 times per month. Share something of value for them as a reader. Teach them something, give tips, etc. That way you'll always stay top-of-mind when they see you pop up in their inbox in a non-pushy way.
