Episode 64: What Networkers Love (and Can’t Stand) — A Best Of


Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 64 of the The Networker’s Tour Guide with host Faithann Basore.

This episode is a best-of compilation featuring insights from the final ten guests, each answering one simple question:

What do you like to see when you network—and what do you not like to see?

Their answers reveal clear patterns about what makes networking feel welcoming, effective, and authentic—and what quietly pushes people away.

What Guests Love to See
  • Open, inclusive conversations

  • Authentic, direct communication

  • Hosts who actively welcome people

  • Early arrivals and relaxed connections

  • Education-driven events

  • Vulnerability and real conversations

  • Booking next steps while still in the room

    What Guests Don’t Love
    • Closed circles and ignored newcomers

    • Hidden agendas or forced “friendship”

    • Being sold to instead of listened to

    • Low energy or unwelcoming rooms
