How to Use PostSheet for Conference or Event Follow-Up

You just wrapped a conference. You met incredible people. You scanned badges, swapped cards, jotted down notes.

Now comes the hard part: following up — personally, and at scale.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send tailored, thoughtful follow-ups to everyone you connected with — in a way that feels 1:1, not spammy.

Let’s walk through how to turn those post-event lists into real relationships (and real revenue).


🎟️ Why Event Follow-Up Matters

Conferences and events are all about connection. But if you don’t follow up within a few days:

  • People forget who you are
  • Warm leads go cold
  • Intros, demos, or partnerships never happen
  • You lose all that momentum

PostSheet helps you follow up while the conversations are still fresh — without writing 100 individual emails.


📋 Step 1: Organize Your Contacts in a Google Sheet

Most events give you a lead list or export — or maybe you keep notes in a badge scanner app or Notion.

Format your data like this:

NameEmailCompanyJob TitleContext / NotesFollow-Up Type
Jamie Wongjamie@email.comAcme Co.Head of ProductChatted about onboarding toolsBook Demo
Alex Riveraalex@email.comBolt StudioMarketing ManagerInterested in audit & strategySend Resource

You can also include:

  • Day you met
  • Booth visited
  • Product interest
  • Stage (Lead, Partner, Media, etc.)

📝 Step 2: Create a Personalized Follow-Up Template in PostSheet

Now write a message that’s warm, relevant, and actionable — not generic.

Example:

arduino

Copy

Subject: Great meeting you at {{Event Name}} 🙌

Hi {{Name}},

It was great connecting at {{Event Name}}! I enjoyed chatting about {{Context / Notes}} and learning more about what you’re doing at {{Company}}.

Based on our convo, I thought you might find this helpful: [Insert resource link, demo scheduler, or next step].

Let me know if you’d like to continue the conversation — happy to share ideas or set up a quick call.

Talk soon,  

[Your Name]

It’s short, simple, and feels human — even if you’re sending 200 at once.


🚀 Step 3: Launch Your Follow-Up Campaign in PostSheet

  1. Connect your Google Sheet
  2. Map fields like {{Name}}, {{Company}}, and {{Context / Notes}}
  3. Add optional logic based on Follow-Up Type (e.g., different links or asks)
  4. Preview every message — customize a few manually if needed
  5. Send or schedule for the next business day

✅ Fast
✅ Personal
✅ No CRM gymnastics required


🔁 Bonus: Create Sequences for Different Segments

Use the same campaign to send different follow-ups based on type:

  • Leads → Invite to book a demo
  • Partners → Share a partnership deck
  • Press / Media → Offer a quote or press kit
  • Speakers / Panelists → Share appreciation or ideas
  • Recruiting prospects → Follow up on career conversations

One spreadsheet. One campaign. Infinite variations.


🧠 Tips for Better Event Follow-Up

  • Send within 48–72 hours if possible
  • Mention where you met or what you talked about
  • Keep it brief — no paragraphs
  • Include a low-friction CTA (e.g. “Reply yes,” “Pick a time,” “Grab this resource”)
  • Update your sheet with a “Replied” column to track follow-through

✅ Final Thoughts: Don’t Let Warm Leads Go Cold

Conferences are expensive. Booths, travel, swag, time — all of it adds up.

Make the most of that investment by following up fast and well. With PostSheet, you can turn your event spreadsheet into personalized outreach in minutes.
