Would you believe me if I told you that with the right networking strategy, you could double your business in just 90 days?

In this episode, I break down a strategy that will make networking easier and more effective, without feeling pushy or ‘salesy’.

But if networking events make you feel uncomfortable, you're not alone.

Networking can open doors to valuable opportunities, but the pressure to make a flawless first impression and always be “on” can feel overwhelming - especially if, like many creatives, you identify as an introvert.

It doesn’t have to be this way, though.

We’re going to take a deep dive into how to present yourself and your business to others in a way that doesn’t feel canned. I share the questions to ask - and the ones to avoid - that get people to open up and share valuable information they haven’t shared with anyone else. And I give you my follow-up script that gets responses and ensures you continue building those relationships with your ideal clients.

If you struggle with presenting yourself and winning clients at networking events, this episode is for you.

Covered in this episode:

The 2 biggest mistakes people make at networking events and how you can avoid them.
How to introduce yourself in a way that feels natural
How to get people to remember you for the right reasons.
The phrases and tactics you can use to become the most magnetic person in the room.
Questions to ask that will help you identify the most valuable opportunities - and the questions to avoid.
The follow-up script that turns prospects into clients.
