An easy way to follow-up powerfully and automatically is to turn these folks into e-zine subscribers. This ensures that you'll have chance to repeatedly teach them how great your products/services are while building their trust in you.

But how do you "capture" people in person? Remember, you can NEVER sign someone up unless they specifically ask you to be signed up — it's unethical.

So you need to encourage people you meet in person to join your list, and make it easy for them. And I have three successful strategies to share with you.

1) Advertise Your E-zine on Your Business Card (or Brochure) Nothing gets passed around at a networking event more than good old business card. But what's on BACK of your cards?

Nothing?

Well, from now on you're going to use that valuable real estate. Next time you print new cards, use flip side! Create a brief message that promotes your e-zine and gives information on how to subscribe. When someone you meet looks at your business card again when she's back at office, she'll be much more likely to subscribe when she sees reminder on your card.

As an example, here's what I have on back of my new cards:

"Promote your business with an e-zine! Sign up for FREE biweekly tips at www.EzineQueen.com."

BONUS: This strategy also gets these people to visit your Web site, which they may not have done otherwise.

If you aren't ready to print new cards for a while, use your computer to print your message onto labels, and affix them to backs of your cards. Cheap and easy!

Just Give Them What They Want!

====================================

I'm sure you won't disagree with this…

The easiest way to make money in any business is to just give people what they want. I don't mean literally give it to them. I mean if you offer people what they want they WILL buy it from you.

It's a simple formula that's been around since beginning of time and it never fails. Why? Because if you're giving people what they want then you're simply gatekeeper. You're just person standing between them and whatever it is they want.

You don't have to sell anything to people in this situation. In fact, they've already sold themselves. As long as price is right you're guaranteed to make a profit.

Let me tell you a little story to illustrate exactly what I mean.

I went to my first Washington Nationals Baseball game recently and it was a great experience. The weather was nice. The beer was cold. Most importantly, National won. So, it was a good day.
