Follow up with people you meet through small talk from "summary" of The Fine Art Of Small Talk by Debra Fine
After you've exchanged small talk with someone, your conversation doesn't have to end there. You can take the initiative to follow up with them. Maybe you've met someone at a networking event and had a brief chat about your shared interest in photography. If you happen to come across an interesting article about photography a few days later, you could send it to them with a short note saying, "I thought you might enjoy reading this."Following up with someone you've had a small talk with shows that you value the connection you made. It demonstrates that you were genuinely interested in the conversation and that you're willing to put in the effort to keep the relationship going. It also gives you the opportunity to deepen the connection by finding common ground or shared interests that you can explore further.
When you follow up with someone, you're not only keeping the lines of communication open but also building a foundation for a potential friendship or professional relationship. It shows that you are proactive and willing to invest time and energy into nurturing the connection. This can lead to future opportunities for collaboration, mutual support, or simply a deeper understanding of each other.
Following up with people you meet through small talk doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming. It can be as simple as sending a quick email, sharing an interesting article, or inviting them to grab a coffee and continue the conversation. The key is to be genuine, thoughtful, and considerate in your approach. By following up with people you meet through small talk, you're not only expanding your network but also creating meaningful connections that have the potential to enrich your personal and professional life.
