The Networking Rebel With Caroline Andrew-Johnstone


Listen Later

Do you want to be a more confident networker? Tracy’s guest this week on Sweat Grit & Hustle is Caroline Andrew-Johnstone. Tracy has known Caroline for 6/7 years and she eats, sleeps and breathes networking. With her Networking Rebel business she is now sharing her wealth of knowledge in this space.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • When she attended her first networking event, Caroline was shocked to see the difference in attitude between people at that group and the people she had worked with in the past. The people in the group weren't selfish and had a common goal of making everyone else in the group successful in their businesses. 
  • After becoming a leader of her networking group and having plenty of experience in space, Caroline finally got the kick she needed to launch herself as the Networking Rebel. She gave away her first 20 sessions for free and that really helped her show people that she had the skills to help businesspeople. 
  • 20% of networking is turning up. It’s as simple as that, get in front of people and at least be in the room. 
  • The most important part of networking is the bit most people forget to do. Follow up flawlessly, without being annoying. Build your network and build your sales.
  • Caroline says she doesn’t give networking advice, she gives confidence to networkers. Confidence is the most important skill you need when giving your elevator pitch.
