Following up – ‘real world’

This needs to be done regularly, if you take the trouble to make digital contact or send a proposal/application/information, make sure you follow it up. You can use your follow up contact to let them know about any developments in the project you are proposing (for example) or other exhibiting or professional activities.

If someone consistently fails to get back to you, perhaps you don’t want to work with them.
