Making the Most of Networking

1.
Come with a specific ask
Know what you're looking for before you enter the room. A warm introduction? A specific referral? A partner on a specific project? Specificity makes connection faster.
2.
Come with something to give
The best networkers know what value they can provide others. Think about your skills, resources, and connections before you show up.
3.
Follow up within 24 hours
A connection made in a summit room means nothing without follow-up. Schedule the follow-up call before the session ends.
4.
The room is the community
These aren't strangers. These are BBS members and aligned community members. You already have something in common. Build from there.
