How I handle 50+ coffee chats in a month 🤪 (while still staying PRESENT during calls)

Relationships are how I pay my salary every year. As you might have guessed - this means a loooottt of coffee chats.

When I’m in a "networking phase", I can do 50+ virtual coffees in a month 😅

(I get this isn't feasible for everyone - you don't have to be aggressively friendly like me to get the same results)

💡Every day this week I'm going to give you another one of my tips for building a referral-based business.

They stack on top of each other so PAY ATTENTION!

Yesterday I wrote about how to stack all of your calls in one day.

Today's tip: How to stay fully present while actually remembering who you spoke with afterward.

I can't tell you how many fantastic coffee chats I've had with a brand new friend, only to walk away and completely forget who they were.

And when I'm stacking coffee chats all in one day? Forget about it 😅

That's why I use a combination of Fathom + my Automated Relationship Database Tracker.

Step 1: Have a fantastic coffee chat with a new connection. Stay present the entire time while Fathom takes notes.

Step 2: Copy the summary notes + link from Fathom into my Airtable record for that person.

(Yes, my automations have already created the record for me in my database! NO I haven't built the automation that puts my Fathom notes into my Airtable base! I'm working on it, OK?!?!)

Step 3: Get a reminder from my Automated Relationship Database Tracker 90 days later reminding me to check in with this person again.

From here I can glance at the notes and refresh my memory!

STEP 4 BONUS: Staying fully focused and present during each call helps me genuinely get to know the person over time, so I rely less and less on my Fathom notes.

None of this works without taking notes
