Marketing Happy Hour

Hate Networking? Here’s How to Build Connections That Open Doors


Listen Later

Solo Episode - Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward, forced, or transactional. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to build meaningful connections that actually lead to opportunities—without feeling weird about it. Whether you're a corporate marketer, an entrepreneur, or just starting out, I’ll share practical networking strategies you can use today.


Key Takeaways:

// Networking starts before the connection request. Engage with people’s content to get on their radar before reaching out.

// Make your outreach personal. Reference something specific to show genuine interest.

// Your network is your greatest asset. Whether you’re in a 9-5 or self-employed, exposure is everything.

// Focus on building relationships, not transactions. Offer value and be intentional with your connections.

// Challenge: Take 3 small networking actions this week!
