Can we talk about hitting 50 new contacts from one Atlanta Chamber event?
I went to that mixer at the Georgia Aquarium last month and just counted my new LinkedIn connections from it, and it was exactly 50 people. It mattered because it showed me the power of having a simple follow-up system right after an event. What's your best trick for turning event contacts into real connections here in Atlanta?

Quality over quantity, man.

50 new contacts is wild. My trick is sending a specific memory from the conversation, not just a generic 'nice to meet you'.

Yeah, the "specific memory" part is key. But honestly, even that can feel like a task if you're doing it 50 times. The real trick is just making a quick note during the chat itself, like one word on their contact card. Then you're not trying to remember it later, you're just reminding them of something you both already talked about. It turns a big chore into a tiny step.
