Retail Tip Tuesday: Don't let a good event conversation end when the event does.

Follow up with the people you meet while the conversation is still fresh. A short message, shared resource or invitation to reconnect can turn one introduction into a valuable professional relationship.

Networking creates the introduction.

Thoughtful follow-up builds the connection.
