๐Ÿค”...If you're like me, meeting new people can sometimes be a daunting task.
๐Ÿฅด Networking doesn't have to be so intimidating!
๐Ÿ†I wanted to share some tips with you this week to ensure every connection you make brings some value to the table!

If you're networking, whether it's a conference or another work-related event, people are going to ask what you do. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Have an answer ready, and maybe even run through it a couple times in your head before you head out there! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Your explanation for your work should be short and sweet, but effective. Make sure they know what you do, why you do it, and what they can learn from it!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป
โณ ๐Ÿฎ. ๐——๐—ผ๐—ป'๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ท๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ
Yes, you'll have some time to talk about yourself โ€“ but make sure you catch some details about who you're talking to! ๐Ÿ‘ผ๐Ÿป
Ask questions, find common ground, and make sure the conversation is a two-way street. Nobody wants to stick around to talk with someone who only focuses on themselves. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
โ™ฆ๏ธ ๐Ÿฏ. ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ
Networking often exists in the work-only space. But it doesn't have to be that way! ๐Ÿคฝ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Try to connect with someone based on something outside of work. A mutual favorite sports team, a shared hometown, or just something small that will make you stand out in that person's mind is a great way to make a lasting connection!๐Ÿšด๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‚
๐Ÿคณ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿฐ. ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ!
A tip that I love to keep in mind is to create some kind of note about the connections you make. ๐Ÿคฏ
When I meet someone that I know I want to remember, I ask them if I can take a selfie with them! ๐Ÿ‘ฏโ€โ™€๏ธ
That selfie goes directly to their contact info with a few details about who they are and how I met them. It doesn't have to be a selfie, but make yourself a little reminder about the people you want to keep in touch with!๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉ
๐ŸŽฏ ๐Ÿฑ. ๐—”๐—น๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐˜‚๐—ฝ
Making connections is great...unless you don't do anything else with them! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Always remember to follow up with the important people you run into. Keep the conversation going, and include them in the community you've built around yourself. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซ
This is the true test of networking โ€“ but once you get the hang of keeping in touch, it will grow your social circle and give you so much more value out of your relationships! ๐ŸŒŽ
