Networking Secrets

12 minutes

Simon shares five essential secrets for successful networking, drawing on over 22 years of experience with the Property Investors Network.

You will learn the importance of committing to networking events, being present and focused during interactions, and the value of giving before receiving, and hear about the significance of building genuine relationships and following up with new connections to foster long-term friendships

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Make a conscious effort to attend networking events regularly. Schedule them in your diary and treat them as a priority to build and grow your network.

When attending events, give your full attention to the people you meet. Avoid distractions like checking your phone, and engage meaningfully to foster genuine connections.

Shift your mindset from seeking help to offering assistance. Whether through encouragement, sharing resources, or making introductions, focus on how you can support others in their journeys.

After meeting new contacts, take the initiative to follow up within 24 hours. Schedule calls or coffee meetings to deepen connections and establish trust.

BEST MOMENTS

"It's about building relationships and ultimately building friendships. So be present and focused at the meetings you go to."

"When you go to networking, you should be thinking, how can I help other people?"

"You do not want to spend all of your time at a network meeting speaking to someone new... because you're missing the opportunity of connecting with other people."

"If you think about it, it's actually quite straightforward. There's a lot of common sense here, but it's amazing how uncommon common sense is."
