1) How often do you stay in touch with folks interested in the PC business, but now is not a good time?

2) And, what do you say when you touch base with them again?
 
something I heard at conference is to ask them when they would like you to follow up, or if it is ok to keep in touch. Then when you call, gently remind them that you are doing what they asked you to do.
"Hi Susie, this is Twinkie with TPC. I had a note to myself to call you in August as you requested........"
 
1) It really depends on the individual and the relationship we have. If it's someone I consider a close friend or business contact, I try to stay in touch at least once a month. If it's someone I only know through the PC business, I may check in every few months or so. However, if now is not a good time for either of us, I respect that and may not reach out until things have settled down.2) When I touch base with them again, I usually start off by asking how they've been and if there have been any updates in their business or personal life. I also make sure to mention that I understand if now is still not a good time to discuss the PC business, and that I am happy to catch up whenever they are ready. It's important to show empathy and understanding in these situations.
