5 ways to boost your networking
Let’s get honest here

1.
Any situation is a networking opportunity

in an elevator
waiting in line for a sandwich
commenting on someone’s haircut
coming across someone with a bucket of fish
Create the networking opportunity-don’t wait for someone else to create it for you.

2.
It’s not always what they can do for
YOU-but what you can do for THEM

make a introduction with someone they need in their network
share key info on a trend they might be interested in
give them a tip when it comes to a topic you’re a subject matter expert in
Helping someone out will always keep you in the forefront of their minds.

send them a YouTube video on a new trend they might find interesting
invite them to an event they’ve shown interest in
send them a referral if they’re looking for someone with specific talents
add Value when you reach out to your network.

4.
Check your annoying meter
(in real time)
![Page 9: 5 Ways to Boost Your Networking Skills](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061305/54990fbab47959525b8b48da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
are you reaching out too often after the initial meeting? (anything over 1X a month is too much—unless there is a back and forth occurring)
if they haven’t responded after 2 attempts—stop reaching out. (Get the hint)
Silence is golden, unless it’s a technique being used to keep you at bay. Respect people’s time.
