6 Hacks to Network More Efficiently (Even When You Don't Feel Like It)

Networking, whether it's in-person or online can be scary as heck! And once the pandemic started; female entrepreneurs had to pretty quickly sink or swim figuring out how to network online to attract new leads to their biz. Let's think about this for a second, prior to the pandemic the worst thing we had to think about was choosing which Facebook background we wanted to use. Now-a-days, you gotta network better; more efficiently which is figuring out how to stand out on-line showcasing your biz on various social media platforms, find places to network in-person/on-line and think about what to talk about when you meet #scaryasheck 😳

But, What If You Don't Feel Like Getting Back Out There?

What happens when you don't feel much like networking because you're not as confident as you used to be due to your personal appearance, a traumatic experience, death in the family, fight with your spouse/significant other, loneliness, lack of networking experience, brand new to being a female entrepreneur, recently re-branded your biz or maybe sales are less than slow like non-existent, you're embarrassed or any one of the other 1 Billion reasons you don't want to network.

Gurl, you are so not by yourself in this! (Here's how to succeed)

If you're looking for more ways to authentically get more visible during your next networking event, have a clear goal before you attend your next networking function, know how to feel more excited about the events, how to show up as the must meet person in the room and how to follow- up with people after the event...you gotta build relationships.

But not in a boring way, you must build relationships unconventionally. This has always been the key to networking success. Our mail counterparts make it happen by playing a round of golf together.

For us ladies, it's meeting for brunch. Now, you can still do traditional networking events as well but, I'm telling brunches are the way to gain more success faster. It doesn't matter if it's online or in-person; the more casual the better.

For example, I connect with my Biz Bestie every week to focus on our monthly goals. Sometimes online, sometimes at the nail spa, sometimes a cheeky eatery and always with a ton of laughs. The point is, we meet when and where we want to casually chat about our biz goals. hold each other accountable to meet those goals and how we can joint venture together.

You Need That Accountability!

In another blog post, "Where Do We Go From Here" I talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people to help your biz grow. I mentioned how you gotta have two types of women in your camp; Rah-Rah Chics and a Biz Bestie. Rah-Rah Chics are those awesome besties that love ya, support ya, encourage ya but, don't have enough female entrepreneur knowledge to help you actually achieve your biz dreams. .

This is why you need a Biz Bestie. This person is sometimes confused with a biz coach but, they are different than a biz coach because you pay them to outline your success steps and guide you along. A Biz Bestie is someone that has the business acumen to help you plan your goals, gets in the trenches with you to work on your goals, holds you accountable at every step and does all the Rah-Rah Chic stuff too.

And lucky for you, my Biz Bestie Juju Rafii, Founder Empowered Boss Babes and I know a thing or two about both being unconventional, brunches and being Biz Besties. Getting out of that comfort zone is how you're going to meet new people; which ultimately leads to new biz possibilities.

This is how you get your confidence back sis! Use these tips that Juju and I shared inside our exclusive members club to help you not only boost your biz but, to also improve your overall life as well.
