Ran explained me that he’d also left PwC, bought an ice cream shop and was developing an app to replace business cards. I must admit, I had no idea what he was talking about, couldn’t understand how the app would work and more importantly, how it would make any money. We chatted for a while and that was the end of it, for a while… (300 words) - [Finding Your Eco-System](/content/blog/london-tel-aviv-silicon-valley/index.html): For the six years before my brothers and I founded Haystack, I was a management consultant with PwC in Brisbane. Our team was full of budding entrepreneurs. We worked on billion dollar mining projects by day and on our own start-up ideas at night. Everyone seemed to be involved in side projects. We had Chris who started an online custom shirt tailoring business – order online, get measured up at your local dry cleaning company (that was inspired) and get your shirts delivered from Hong Kong in a week. Unsurprisingly Chris is now head of strategy (and parties) for Levi Strauss in Europe. We also had Ben, owner of Benfatti fine Italian foods, now in grocery stores all over Australia and Lina, owner of Mama y Bebe, the Australian maternity wear company now also in Europe. We had Kalan, owner of Escobar, the coolest bar/restaurant in Brisbane, and Vish, owner of Xperience Realty, the fastest growing real estate company in Queensland. Take a look at this video if you want to see his unique and hilarious approach to selling houses. We also had a restaurateur, a shoe designer with a factory in Taiwan, a gourmet sauce maker and an importer of electrical safety equipment from Brazil – all of whom have since sold their start-ups and gone on to other things. It was during this time that I started ShliX, our family ice cream business which is still going strong. Reading through this list, I’m amazed we found the time to do any consulting work at all.

One of which being – the traditional handshake and business card exchange are out. Your clients no longer want to be given paper cards, and your staff doesn’t want to take them either. More importantly, for companies with hundreds or thousands of front line staff, taking many cards from their clients/suppliers/business contacts and bringing them back to the office poses a potential health & safety risk. One contaminated card could lead to a whole floor, or office location going into quarantine. In 2020 people don’t need a piece of paper in order to get in touch with you - they just need an easier way to do so.

Why is the follow-up so often overlooked? Maybe it’s because we underestimate its importance, or perhaps it’s because we don’t know how to do it effectively. In reality, a well-crafted follow-up can be the difference between a one-off conversation and a lasting professional relationship.
