Log 6: First Scheduled Coffee Chat

Hey again. I think I'm gonna do these logs Monday mornings (If anyone cares). It's usually a calm time and a little writing to start my week is good. I have been pretty busy recently, I had a couple exams and I didn't get much networking done. I only had two calls since a couple canceled. In summary, last week wasn't as productive as I wanted it to be.

Please provide criticism.

Log for week 10/14/2019-10/20/2019

Networking: I didn't shoot as many cold emails/ LN msgs due to tests but I was still able to get 4 calls and a coffee chat for this week. My first coffee chat in fact. I'm more excited about this than the phone calls I have coming up. I generally hate phone calls and this is a nice change of pace. I had two phone calls this week and it went pretty well. The two were pretty nice and honestly seemed pretty interested in helping.

In other news: I'm probably fucked for the competition I mentioned last week. I picked a bunch my friends who are all "pursuing IB" for my group, but they barely know how calculate Gross Profit. Lucky for me I'm "GeTtInG AlL ThaT DcF PrACtiCe".

My Thoughts: I probably won't feel it as this week progresses but I'm kind of happy I have all this work to do. It honestly makes me feel like I'm actually working towards something.

Questions: - As it's been a little over a month since this had started, I was curious on how I should follow up with the people I have reached out to. Any thoughts? - I've been having trouble grasping the idea of transitioning networks into offers. It seems like some people seem to instantly get an offer after talking to someone. What is your idea of networking.

Goal - Go for roughly 100 emails. - Finish my current book. - Get 4 more industry professionals for next week.

Sorry for the poor grammar today, I don't have time to edit this.
