The old way of networking that many of us were taught is just not working anymore because people want authenticity. People want genuine connection.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How networking can be fun and effective when approached authentically and with the intention of building genuine connections.
• The importance of being clear and authentic in your introduction, sharing what you do, who you help, and what problems you solve.
• How to avoid coming across "too salesy" by focusing on getting to know people as humans first, rather than jumping straight into business.
• The importance of allocating time for networking based on your business goals and capacity.
• Why consistency in follow-up is essential for building and maintaining relationships in networking.
