Networking Expectations: Brevity (9 of 12)

Expectation #9: Brevity is the soul of wit

For those that are not working (AKA “in transition”), it’s easy to forget that the people you are meeting with are very busy. Don’t compose long e-mails, expect immediate call backs or expect others to be on your clock.

Expectation setting #9: When you reach out to network, remember how busy others are and act accordingly.

Remember what Don Johnson was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude, we'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Tim Ferriss for the inspiration)

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate that and to come to think of it, you're right there are some quite in number of people I already forgot maybe by face I can remember but not in names.

Make it short and straight to the point. That is for my own understanding.
Like this content short but meaningful. I will share this to my co workers in the networking industry.
Many Thanks.
