Top 5 Networking Tips if Youโve Never Been Before ๐
Walking into a room full of people you donโt know can feel daunting, but rememberโฆ everyone was new once!
Here are my top tips to help you get the most out of your first networking event:
โญ 1. Just turn up.
The hardest part is walking through the door. Once youโre there, youโll soon realise everyone is friendly and wants to make connections.
๐ฌ 2. Be curious, not salesy.
Ask people about their business, what they do and why they do it. People remember great conversations, not sales pitches.
๐ค 3. Donโt worry about talking to everyone.
If you leave having made just 2 or 3 genuine connections, thatโs a successful networking event.
๐ 4. Be yourself.
You donโt need a rehearsed pitch or to pretend to be someone youโre not. Authenticity builds trust.

5. Follow up afterwards.
Networking doesnโt end when you leave. Connect on social media, send a quick message or arrange a coffee. Thatโs where relationships really start to grow.
If youโve been putting off coming because youโre nervous, this is your sign!
Weโd love to welcome you to Wednesday Wins. Itโs relaxed, supportive and full of local businesses who genuinely want to help each other succeed.
