Networking Strategies That Actually Work


Effective networking is about building genuine relationships.


Quality Over Quantity

Focus on building deep relationships with fewer people rather than superficial connections with many.


Give Before You Get

  • Offer help and value before asking for anything
  • Share relevant articles or opportunities
  • Make introductions between connections

    • Follow Up Consistently

  • Send personalized follow-up messages
  • Check in periodically with existing connections
  • Remember important details about people's lives

    • Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Being too transactional
  • Not following up
  • Dominating conversations
  • Forgetting to express gratitude

    • Networking is a long-term investment in your career. Build relationships authentically and consistently.
