So let me put your advice to work. (Your feedback is welcome!): Hi Mark, my name is Pam Kulik. We met at the Twiistup conference back in July and chatted at the coffee stand. You were nice enough to wait for my order to be filled and we walked back to the conference room area together. I didn't ask you for a meeting or money, being a marketer for tech startups, but we exchanged cards. I followed up with an email to you a few weeks later around VentureNet asking you to coffee and noting that a client was participating in that event. How did I do? (Keep the advice coming!)
