KEY TAKEAWAYS
“Two common networking mistakes people make are one, networking in the wrong environments and secondly, networking with the same people time and time and time again.”
“I would identify individual people that I want to make a relationship with and then outreach to them to start making that relationship.”
“Very important to focus on the people you want to meet, then very important to invest in those relationships.”
“There is no quicker way to grow than the right collaborations and the right partnerships.”
“I need to offer them something.”
“You need to have the ability to do business, to be able to help each other, to make money and grow, otherwise it’s not about relationships, it’s about purely having fun.”
BEST MOMENTS
“I love networking because it’s a pleasure, I get to talk to the people I want to do business with, to achieve business, to make money and have fun.”
“It gives me a chance to get together with people I am doing business with, people I want to do business with, investors, prospective investors.”
“Every success I’ve had has come from a relationship in some way, shape or form, whether it’s bringing on a new investor, or whether that’s creating a new partnership.”
