Success Thru Connections
Authentic Networking: Build Relationships, Not Just a Database
Ever walked into a networking event, grabbed a drink, and then thought… Now what?
We've all been there. Networking can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to! —especially when you're staring at a sea of people deep in conversation, wondering how to break in. But what if I told you that the key to making real connections (not just collecting business cards) is simpler than you think?
In this solo episode, I’m sharing my real-life experiences navigating networking events—including that time I walked into a room of 200+ strangers and had to figure out my next move. We’ll talk about:
- The one mindset shift that makes networking feel effortless
- How to break the ice without sounding salesy or awkward
- The difference between being a "farmer" and a "hunter" in networking (and why it matters)
- Simple ways to stand out in a crowded room—without being that person
- Why following up is the real game-changer (and exactly how to do it)
Networking isn’t about selling—it’s about starting conversations that lead to opportunities. So if you’ve ever struggled with what to say, how to approach people, or how to make networking actually work for your business, this episode is for you.
