That&#8217;s why we attend various conferences, meet-ups, and networking events. It&#8217;s all in the name of forging strong relationships that will push our businesses forward. Networking works perfectly for that, I must admit.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, in the busy world of today, a meeting face-to-face may be too little to get remembered. There are hundreds of meetings and it&#8217;s hard to keep score. That&#8217;s why we need something more than a single meeting. And that something can be a follow-up <span id=\"urn:enhancement-1277267f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> sequence. With this article, I want to show you two approaches to networking events that will make you stand out from all the people who attend them.<\/p>\n<h2>The power of networking follow-up email<\/h2>\n<p>I was inspired to write\u00a0this article\u00a0while responding to<a href=\"https:\/\/qr.ae\/TWnBr5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0a Quora question<\/a>. We usually treat networking events quite conventionally. We take a list of\u00a0attendees, qualify them, and then, we send them an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-199f850e\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> pitch. It&#8217;s so commonplace that people stopped responding to that kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/how-to-send-a-follow-up-email-after-no-response\/\">follow-ups<\/a> because they smell what&#8217;s coming.<\/p>\n<p>Why don&#8217;t we\u00a0flip the scenario, then? Let&#8217;s try something fresh. Take a step back and think about what we can do to make a lead generation opportunity out of any networking event.<\/p>\n<p>What do we have here? Well, a conference and possibly a list of attendees we can prequalify (a list is not\u00a0a must-have and I will show you why.) I would love to propose to you two approaches to networking events. We would divide them on\u00a0how we can\u00a0follow up prior to a networking event and after the event to use the event to our advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Send powerful emails &amp; boost replies<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-1908263023\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-1908263023\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n<h2>#1 How to send a follow-up before the event?<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of people send a follow-up after the\u00a0networking event they&#8217;ve attended. Nonetheless, we can use a follow-up <span id=\"urn:enhancement-89289b3b\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> sequence to connect with people before the event takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re going for a meetup in a new city. You don&#8217;t know anyone, but there will be a lot of people from the niche you&#8217;re targeting. Isn&#8217;t it a great opportunity to connect?<\/p>\n<p>For example, for Yurii, our Head of Business Development, it would be a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-e75096cc\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">sales<\/span> meetup for <span id=\"urn:enhancement-be1e657c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">B2B<\/span> companies. Perfect. You have your event marked in the calendar and you either have a list of attendees and work on an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c70762f0\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> sequence to make an introduction.<\/p>\n<p>You write something like that:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><article class=\"email-template\">\n    <div class=\"email-template-top-bar email-template__bar\">\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"email-template__content\">\n      <p>Hi {{first name}},<\/p>\n<p>I saw you on the list of attendees for {{meet-up}}. I barely know anybody, so I decided to <span id=\"urn:enhancement-64feed26\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> you. I&#8217;ve been reading quite a bit about {{company}} and I noticed {{snippet 1}}. Would love to discuss that further.<\/p>\n<p>See you at the meet-up.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking. &#8220;Where&#8217;s the <span id=\"urn:enhancement-c4a3a3d7\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">sales<\/span> pitch?&#8221;, yet, do you really need a <span id=\"urn:enhancement-8568399c\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">sales<\/span> pitch at this point? After all, cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-400d5f8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emailing<\/span> is a way of making a connection and your goal is to get a positive response, not a closed deal. So, why don&#8217;t you try to leverage events for networking?<\/p>\n<p>Just remember that your efforts may be futile <a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/cold-email\/why-should-we-always-send-follow-up-emails\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unless you follow up<\/a>. Use automation and follow those steps.<\/p>\n<p>However, you don&#8217;t need a list of attendees to send a networking <span id=\"urn:enhancement-98faff9\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>. Even better, why don&#8217;t you <span id=\"urn:enhancement-33176ebf\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> a company that <a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/prospecting\/ideal-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fits your ICP<\/a> and tell them about the event as a pretext to send them an <span id=\"urn:enhancement-943c00bc\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>? Let&#8217;s see how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>First, pick an event that you know your customers will enjoy. For example, a marketing event if you&#8217;re selling a social listening tool. Then, identify marketers who&#8217;d love to attend an event like that. Tell them about the conference, here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><article class=\"email-template\">\n    <div class=\"email-template-top-bar email-template__bar\">\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"email-template__content\">\n      <p>Hi\u00a0{first name}},<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about reaching out to you for a while.\u00a0 Will\u00a0{{company}} attend {{Networking event}}? If you&#8217;re going, I&#8217;d love to meet you there and say hi. I could connect you with {{Snippet 1}}.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you at the meet-up.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/article><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What do you think? It&#8217;s just a conversation starter, just like a proper cold <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a6f07b76\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>\u00a0ought to be. It&#8217;s up to you how\u00a0the conversation is going to end. Just bear in mind that a\u00a0single <span id=\"urn:enhancement-e8ed9535\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span> is not enough for the recipient to trust you, you need to follow-up a couple of times.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I&#8217;d love for you not to go out of your comfort zone and try something new. And I think that networking before the actual event may get you\u00a0plenty of\u00a0interesting conversations during the event. The time spent there won&#8217;t be a wasted one. Just don&#8217;t get discouraged when people don&#8217;t write back to your initial <span id=\"urn:enhancement-b92d2cc7\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>. Write a few <span id=\"urn:enhancement-9faeeca8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">emails<\/span> and you&#8217;re sure to be remembered.<\/p>\n<h2>#2 How to follow up after the networking event?<\/h2>\n<p>I would call it a traditional approach to\u00a0a networking follow-up <span id=\"urn:enhancement-a4f35bd6\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>. It goes like this. You attend an event you&#8217;re interested in, meet a bunch of people, get their <span id=\"urn:enhancement-947a5aff\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">business<\/span> cards, and\u00a0follow up after the event, saying how much you enjoyed meeting them. That&#8217;s pretty much it. And it may work because the prospects (or <span id=\"urn:enhancement-70803da\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">business<\/span> partners) are already warmed up.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest things are the hardest to do right.\u00a0If you replicate\u00a0the above scenario, there&#8217;s no guarantee that you get a response. Why? There&#8217;s no hook. You&#8217;re just thanking them for a conversation. And you need to hook them with a <a href=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/blog\/cold-email\/perfect-cta-or-how-to-end-up-my-cold-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">persuasive CTA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How to hook them? Go back in mind to\u00a0your conversation, is there anything more you could ask them? Maybe you could check out their website once again and find a connection between what you talked about at the event and the information you find on the web.<\/p>\n<p>The thing you\u00a0ask for should be<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>easy<\/strong>\u00a0for your addressee to reply without thinking (in 1-2 sentences);<\/li>\n<li><strong>intriguing<\/strong> enough for you to repeat it over a few messages (you need to schedule more than one follow-up <span id=\"urn:enhancement-7706e9dd\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\">email<\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you can think of something like that. My proposition goes like this:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><article class=\"email-template\">\n    <div class=\"email-template-top-bar email-template__bar\">\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n      <span class=\"email-template-top-bar__button\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"email-template__content\">\n      <p>Hi {{first name}},<\/p>\n<p>Glad to meet you at {{Networking event}}.

Having a strong network of people in a niche we&#8217;re targeting will certainly fortify our sales.<\/p>\n<h2>What to put in the subject line of a networking email?<\/h2>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s move on to the subject line. It\u2019s a tricky part for many. How to make it attention-grabbing so your email gets noticed and opened?<\/p>\n<p>The key is to personalize it and make a connection. Mention their name and the event you both will attend or have already met at. Have a look at the examples below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201c{{FIRST_NAME}}, let\u2019s connect before {{EVENT_NAME}}\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHey, this is Meg from {{EVENT_NAME}}\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhat are your thoughts about {{EVENT_NAME}}\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHi {{FIRST_NAME}}, remember me from {{EVENT_NAME}}?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201c{{FIRST_NAME}}, lets grab a coffee together before {{EVENT_NAME}}\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJust wanted to say \u201chi\u201d before {{EVENT_NAME}}\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do you actually need to be on\u00a0the event to send an email?<\/h2>\n<p>Networking follow-up emails are used by the companies who either attend a networking event or they want to do so. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that it&#8217;s a rule. You don&#8217;t need to be at an event to send an email to the business people you suspect are on it.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say there&#8217;s an interesting conference in Barcelona, Spain about content marketing. And your tool is a plugin for <a href=\"https:\/\/hikeseo.co\/learn\/onsite\/tags-vs-categories\/\">WordPress tags and SEO<\/a>. Should you travel there to attend the conference? Why don&#8217;t you use this conference as an excuse for cold emailing prospects?<\/p>\n<p>Build a qualified list of prospects whose companies have HQs in a close vicinity to Barcelona. Make this content marketing conference an excuse to target WordPress users who do content marketing. Don&#8217;t pretend that you&#8217;re going there, just ask whether they think this conference will be worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>\n<aside class=\"cta-block cta-block--a-version js-cta-block ab-no-10-cta-block ab-no-11-cta-block\">\n  <p class=\"cta-block__heading u-heading-preset-md-600\">Send powerful emails &amp; boost replies<\/p>\n  <div class=\"cta-block__form-container\">\n    <form class=\"js-cta-block-form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" class=\"cta-block__button-only-form js-cta-block-no-input-form\">\n      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\nStart free trial\n<\/button>    <\/form>\n    \n    <form class=\"c-input-button-form js-cta-block-form cta-block__form\" action=\"https:\/\/woodpecker.co\/signup\/\" method=\"POST\" novalidate>\n        \n  <div class=\"c-form-field js-form-field  c-input-button-form__form-field\">\n    \n    <label class=\"c-label c-form-field__label\" for=\"cta-block-form-email-1885969539\">Work email<\/label>\n\n                    \n  <input class=\"c-input  js-input c-input-button-form__input\" placeholder=\"will@woodpecker.co\" name=\"email\" id=\"cta-block-form-email-1885969539\" type=\"email\" \/>\n            \n    <span class=\"c-form-field__error js-error\">\n                                      Invalid email format\n        \n\n                <\/span>\n  <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"c-input-button-form__button\">\n          \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<button class=\"cta-block__button c-button js-button c-button--color-main c-button--size-small u-focus-visible-outline\">\n                Start free trial\n        \n\n<\/button>        <\/div>\n\n            <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n<\/aside><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot has been said about the importance of face-to-face communication when trying to connect with business partners or potential customers.
