The exact change
"The fortune is in the follow-up. It is not in the handshake, the business card, or the speech. It is in the message you send three days later that reminds the other person who you are and gives them a reason to care." Keith Ferrazzi, Never Eat Alone [...] "You don't build a network at events. You build it in the days and weeks after, through the small consistent gestures that tell people you remember them and wish them well." Dorie Clark, Stand Out Networking
