Some effective ways to follow up with a personal connection after a video include:
- Sending a timely, personalized thank you email that references specific points from the video call to show attentiveness and appreciation. This helps reinforce the connection and professionalism.
- Using multiple communication channels such as a phone call, LinkedIn message, or a short personalized video or voice message. Multimedia messages add a personal touch and can be more engaging than plain text.
- Sending a handwritten note to create a memorable, sincere impression that stands out in today’s digital communication environment. Including a business card or small branded item can further strengthen the connection.
- Building ongoing relationships through continuous engagement on social media or professional platforms like LinkedIn by commenting, asking questions, or sharing relevant content. Personalized and thoughtful communication increases the likelihood of a positive response.
- Offering additional resources or help related to topics discussed during the video call, which demonstrates commitment and adds value to the relationship.
These strategies use personal interaction and thoughtful messaging to nurture and strengthen connections after a video interaction. Timing, personalization, and value in follow-up communications are key to maintaining and growing these relationships.
