You meet someone, somewhere or may be you just found them online and the next thing which you do is add them to Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn etc. Now this is all good as you are building contacts, however are you keeping a follow up? How often do you email them, talk to them? I guess the answer will be nothing new than mine… I hardly email to those people.
While accessing my email, I got the invitation of Social Minder and I am glad that I used it! This little and lovely service just solves the above mentioned problem. It scans our contacts in Linkedin and our email service to find out that with whom we are connecting regularly and who are neglected by us and it asks us to connect with them, so as to ensure that the contact should maintain strong enough.
What I liked about Social Minder was that it also mentioned the latest news in which “that neglected contact will be interested in”, this will give you a reason to start the conversation, lets hope that the guy jumped the job, so it will help you know that and thus you can simply send an email congratulating them. Result! Strong contact!
SocialMinder showed me that there are few guys in my contacts, to whom I haven’t contacted from past 1 yr or more. I fixed up the problem, I sent 25 emails since morning and I feel as if lot of weight has been taken off from my shoulders.
