Over the years, I’ve learned that going into a networking event with clear objectives is key to making it a worthwhile experience. I talk about how important it is to know what you want to achieve beforehand, whether it’s meeting potential clients, collaborating with other professionals, or simply learning from others in your industry.\nWe also discuss the critical role of follow-up after an event. It's not just about exchanging business cards—it’s about building relationships that last beyond the conference or meeting. I share some of the methods I’ve used to stay in touch with people and keep those connections alive.\nDrawing from our experiences at conferences like ConvertKit's Craft and Commerce, we offer actionable advice on how to prepare for networking events, how to engage meaningfully with others during the event, and how to use tools like business cards, lead magnets, and follow-up emails to stay top of mind. Whether you’re new to networking or looking to refine your approach, this episode is packed with practical tips that can help you maximize your impact and grow your business.\nListen to the full episode to hear:\nActionable advice on building lasting connections after the event is over\nStrategies for maximizing your impact and growing your business through networking\nHow to effectively use business cards, lead magnets, and other tools for networking\nThe importance of setting clear objectives before attending networking events\nFREE Resources to Grow Your Online Business:\nCFT Workshop: https://creatorfasttrack.com/workshop-registration\nWork with Gillian Perkins:\nApply for $100K Mastermind: https://gillianperkins.com/100k-mastermind \nGet your online biz started with Startup Society: https://startupsociety.com \nLearn more about Gillian: https://gillianperkins.com \nInstagram: @GillianZPerkins","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jSVFNaMVaq2xN_XXMdPWb2thI2IwCmxWI1ny0RZrwGE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5MjUwLzE3MDY2/NDcyMjQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
