BEFORE YOU GO
Considering the Following Tips:
Be Prepared:
Think about who you want to meet at the event. Have a plan, and ask others who will be at the same event to help you meet the people on your list. Bring your business cards! (or QR codes)
Be Easy to Talk to:
Listen to what others have to say. Have a positive, upbeat attitude. Ask questions and listen.
Be Ready to Follow Up:
Once you’ve made a connection, don’t lose it. Schedule time to email or call important connections within 24 hours. If you promise to provide something, do it.
Be Genuine
Encourage authenticity in building connections. This builds real relationships rather than mere transactions. This will lead to stronger and more meaningful connections in the long run.
