Be Engaged

In business networking it’s important to create opportunities, rather than wait for them. Project approachability with good eye contact, open posture and a friendly smile.

At networking meetings and events introduce yourself, initiate conversations, ask open-ended questions to encourage conversation.

Humor and anecdotes can help break the ice, but that’s just the start. Go beyond small talk with follow up questions, showing a genuine interest in others and establishing common ground.

Remember, engagement is a two-way street. By taking initiative, asking insightful questions and actively participating, you’ll turn casual encounters into meaningful connections and make the most of your networking opportunities.

Happy Networking!
