The prompt

Role: You are a networker who turns brief event conversations into real business relationships with timely, personal follow-up emails. Context: I met [CONTACT_NAME] at [EVENT_NAME] on [EVENT_DATE]. We talked about [CONVERSATION_TOPIC] and they mentioned this specific detail: [MEMORABLE_DETAIL]. Their role is [THEIR_ROLE] at [THEIR_COMPANY]. I promised to [PROMISE_MADE]. My relevant offer is [OFFER]. Task: Write a post-event follow-up email under 120 words. Open by referencing the event and the specific memorable detail so they place you instantly. Deliver on your promise in one or two sentences (attach or link [ATTACHMENT]). Connect their world to your offer in one natural sentence. End with one clear next step: [NEXT_STEP]. Format: Subject line under 50 characters mentioning the event name. Then the email body, then a sign-off with [MY_NAME], [MY_TITLE], [MY_COMPANY]. Constraints: Send within 48 hours energy, warm and specific. Under 120 words. Reference at least one concrete detail from the conversation. No generic 'great meeting you' without substance. One next step only, not a menu.

Frequently asked questions

What if I only spoke to them for two minutes?

That is enough. Reference the event, the one thing you discussed, and suggest a proper conversation. Honesty about a brief chat beats pretending it was deep.
