Ever forget to keep in touch with that old friend or business colleague ?
When most people think of networking, they think of it as something you do to meet new people. However, Michael Port suggests defining networking as developing deeper relationships with people you already know … and that’s what KeepInTouch is all about.
Simply link up your already existing Contact Groups from your Address Book with the app, and call the randomly suggested contact to make sure you stay in close contact with them.
KeepInTouch is a communication, connection and peer-group tool to help build relationships with influencers, buyers, customers, friends, family and anyone else in your contact lists.
PLUS you can have the application automatically prompt you with push notification reminders, to reconnect, touch base and call people from specific addressbook groups at set times and days of the week.
HOW TO KEEP IN TOUCH
1.Ensure you have contact groups set-up in your Address book (via you Max OSX or iCloud) that are sync’d to your iPhone.
You can create groups for family, college friends, sports friends, business parnters, clients, mastermind groups and even booty calls.
2.When you first open the app you can choose to ‘Add Groups’ to your dashboard.
3.To have a contact or person to call suggested at random, simply select the groups from which you want to call.
4.Don’t want to talk to that particular person right now? No sweat, just shake the phone to have another contact from that same group presented.
5.Want to ensure you call a friend everyday at 6pm, or a business client at 11am weekdays? Easy! Just create an reminder alarm and a push notification remind you to call “that group” at that specific time!
With KeepInTouch, it really is that easy to keep in touch with the important people in your life.
