Hi Elaine, I recently had the pleasure of having Frank speak, about how he uses LinkedIn at a social media skillnet event I was facilitating in Cork. He was simply brilliant! One takeaway was how he planned for success when using LinkedIn to raise money for Goshido, when people responded as they did, he had the correct follow up material ready and waiting. The point is that he developed a well thought out strategy including a hugely successful outcome and that's exactly what he achieved.

Yes, Niall. I agree completely. Any strategy needs to include the all-important follow up. No point in letting the trail just fizzle away into nothing after all the hard work of setting it up in the first place.
