Fill your pockets…
Remember: the key to networking is to be prepared!
You cannot just turn up to a networking event without a purpose and without a bit of preparation.
For those who are unsure, your purpose is to make new business connections and your preparation is your “15 second info-mercial” and a pocketful of business cards!
Even when you are going to a social gathering, always have some cards in your pocket! This is exactly what happened to me the other day. I was at a birthday party and met a great contact and we wanted to swap details; however they did not have any business cards on them. Luckily, I had mine!
The best thing to do is put a few cards in your wallet, next to your driver’s license or creditcards (they are 2 things that we always have on us!) and then you won’t be fumbling for a pen to write your details on the back of a napkin.
Take YOUR pocketful of business cards to the ZaaBiz & Infusion networking event in Sydney tonight and make some new connections!
6.30pm at the Mint Bar, Intercontinental Hotel, CBD
