If you are not the right person
Let them know and, if you can,
introduce them to others in your
network who might be able to help.
Tips and hints to help build your network - Responding to others
We're all busy and it's easy to ignore emails from people we don't know. But it often takes courage to reach out to someone for the first time, and not
hearing back can be disappointing.
Across ABF we know we want to help each other, but time is precious. Focusing on boosting your network could unlock new opportunities and even
save you time in the future.
If it's not the right time
Send a quick response explaining that
you can't help right now. Either arrange
something for later or put them in
touch with others who could help.
If you would like to connect
Reply promptly, explain you're
happy to hear from them and get
time in the diary.
Sorry, I don't think I'm the
right person.
Have you tried…..
I'd love to catch up, but the
timing is difficult right now.
I could do something next month?
Thanks for reaching out, I
would love to connect.
Let's book it in!
