3 TIPS FROM ALI

Tip #1: Listen first (2 ears and 1 mouth), hang out and do a bit of stalking before you engage!

Tip #2: Be helpful – send articles, information you think they would be interested in

Tip #3: Become the go to person for advice about your niche (without being salesy!)  “Being successful at networking is realising to get to where you are going, you have to help other people get to where they are going” - J Kelly Hoey

Soundbite:  Don’t Spray and Pray – ie, handing our business cards like confetti and praying that someone will connect with you.  Be mindful of how you present you and your business
