Very spot-on. I have additional thoughts to add… as I was reading this and nodding my head, I started thinking about how complicated all that follow-up is. 5 new contacts from every event, follow-ups, check ins, 7 days, 30 days, it’s all a lot to follow, even when finding a job is your full time job.

I’d really be good about using an email-integrated calendar/task list(in my case, Google Calendar) when being really good about following up on a schedule. When I was employing the author’s techniques as a sales executive, I had over 100 follow-ups every day.

Investigate the advanced options to really get a feel for what your calendar can do for you. Automated follow up reminders are great. Also, if making sure everything is “checked off” isn’t really your bag, set an email reminder and just don’t delete it from your Inbox until you’ve followed up on it.
