Get Permission

Focusing on a conversation is sometimes difficult.  
Especially when you’re thinking to yourself – how
am I going to follow up?  When do I follow up?  
Will they remember me?  Will they take or return my call?  

Keep this thought in mind:  If you truly want to follow up with the person you are speaking with, simply end each conversation by asking and getting permission with the question,  “Would you mind if I called you about…?”

When people give you permission to call they're giving you the opportunity to develop the relationship.
