I am thrilled to sit down with the dynamic entrepreneur and networking strategist, Chelsea Laub. Chelsea is the brain behind 'Mingle,' an innovative platform teaching individuals networking skills and personal branding. In this episode, we delve into the art and science of effective networking. How does one make meaningful, long-lasting connections? Are elevator pitches outdated? What is the role of emotional intelligence in networking? Chelsea shares her insights from her unique perspective, along with valuable lessons from her own networking journey. We will talk about everything from the networking technique of 'ten, three, one', to the importance of adding value and serving others through your networking efforts. Helping us optimize our networking strategies, we discuss the changing landscape of networking opportunities in a post-pandemic world, and why it's more important than ever to make the most out of every interaction.

Chelsea Laub is a professional committed to effective networking. She observes that many in the sales industry, including financial advisors, attorneys, real estate agents and insurance professionals, attend networking events without clear intent, rendering these sessions fruitless. Chelsea emphasizes the importance of having an intentional mindset at networking events to yield measurable results. She notes that merely gathering business cards and adding contacts on LinkedIn without further interaction isn't adequate. Hence, Chelsea champions a strategic approach to networking to ensure both meaningful connections and visible outcomes.
