About

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Julie Yusim discuss:

Adding a little positive self-talk to your routine.
Getting value for your networking time.
Going deep and playing the networking long game.
Evaluating your wide network to see where you should go deeper.
Best tips and tactics for effective networking.

Key Takeaways:

Networking is about giving, more than anything, especially at the beginning, even if you don’t see how it is going to come back to you.
Have a couple of things that you can give in your back pocket, even if you are new to networking.
Most networking relationships evolve and mature over time. Get to know those in your smaller circle best, but don’t ignore others in your network.
Following up is where the networking really starts. Make notes about the person and conversation you had, then make sure you follow up specifically, not in a blast email selling your services.

"The good news is networking works. The less-than-good news is networking is work. It’s not a horrible amount of work, it’s not taxing, it’s not expensive, but there is a process that if you want to be successful at it, you need to follow." — Julie Yusim
