Today we’re talking about a few of my best networking tips for introverts, or really anybody who doesn't love networking events.

As an introvert myself, networking meetings are probably my least favorite kind of marketing, but I make myself go because I really do think they’re effective, and we’ll talk about why in just a moment.

By and large I think that most acupuncturists - not all but most - consider themselves introverts. 

Originally I came up with these tips to put into practice for myself. 

Because I know that networking is an incredibly effective marketing avenue, and I do think it's worth my time and my energy, but I am the queen of responding “yes” to a networking event invitation, and then thinking up flimsy reasons not to attend them at the last moment. 😬

And in the seven years that I’ve been teaching marketing to other acupuncturists, many of my students and 1:1 clients have also let me know that they often feel the same way, AND that these tips are very effective.

So let's dive in!
