Unlock the secrets of successful networking with eight expert tips. Join me on the journey to building a thriving lifestyle business.

1. It's Weird for Everyone

Feeling awkward? You're not alone. Embrace the discomfort – it's part of the networking process. Remember, everyone feels the same way.

2. Hang Out by the Bar

Ease into conversations by positioning yourself near the bar. It's where nerves relax, making it easier to strike up a conversation.

3. Budge In

Don't hesitate to join ongoing conversations. Politely introduce yourself and initiate a dialogue – it's a common practice at networking events.

4. Find Common Ground

Connect with others by discovering shared interests. Whether it's hobbies, weekend plans, or family, finding common ground fosters rapport.

5. Show Interest and Help, Not Sell

Avoid the hard sell. Instead, show genuine interest in others and offer assistance. Building trust is key to successful networking.

6. Follow Up and Set Up a Meeting

After the event, follow up promptly and suggest a meeting. Strike while the iron is hot to solidify connections made during networking.

7. See How You Can Send Them Business

Focus on giving rather than receiving. Look for opportunities to refer business to your contacts, strengthening relationships in the process.
