This week we’re discussing the importance of following up in your networking practices. Follow up is important for lead generation and relationship building. We’re also joined by our guest, Russell Duckworth, business development professional and master of following up. He shares his secret to success in creating and maintaining relationships with new connections through follow up.

“You don’t really realize the importance of planting the seed, tending, weeding, feeding, and earning the right to harvest that piece of fruit until it’s there. But then after that happens a few times, you begin to see the value of spending that kind of follow up energy where it needs to be spent.” – Russell Duckworth
