We talked about the different types of business networking opportunities various organizations provide. We also discussed follow up strategies. One strategy Lisa and I agree on is the use of handwritten notes.  Here’s a shameless plug for an Italian Stationary site that provides first class stationary for those times when you really want to make an impression.
