03 🎟 Networking Events

Building relationships through events can and should be more than mediocre...

• Does where matter?

• Micro vs macro events

• Create FOMO

• Alcohol at networking events?

• Mormons and networking

• After-hour presence

• It’s what you make of it…

• Be comfortable in who you are

• Treat everyone as a meaningful relationship until they prove you wrong

• Partner up on invitations

• First people to invite, are people who are going to invite others

• Partner up on budgets

• Networking event is relationships formed, strengthened not deals closed

• Make the connection, dive deeper on the biz later

• Don’t be hyper-focused on one attribute, go deeper

• Be present

• Make it cool vs get cool people there

• Think value-add

• Conferences, prep, value add

• Leverage partners to make the connection

• Don’t try to meet someone in the bathroom
