When you ask people if they like networking events they usually cringe and start telling you how much they hate them, how awkward they feel, how tricky it is to start conversations with all these strangers and how false it all seems. Truth is, I used to be one of those networking events haters myself.
So what's changed? Why do I now enjoy going to events where I can meet new people who I might be able to collaborate with?
Well, in this video you'll discover the 10 networking strategies that have made me start enjoying networking with people, even though I used to hate networking more than anyone.
If you follow even just half of these strategies and use them at a networking event I am sure you'll start to enjoy it too.
And shyness or a fear of starting conversations with people will become a thing of the past!

No matter what career you are in, networking is a tool that drives success.
This is absolutely true
Want to start going for some
first lesson : deal with your shyness it's either you take control or it takes control of your life surrendering to shyness means giving up on all the good opportunities and possibilities in your life ,and most importantly your mind is blocked and not able to produce productive and interesting ideas
i wrote you comment in my lessons book , it touches me deep inside thnks ✅✅
@@LikeeLoka-yb1fr thank you , thank you very much sir.
This was a great video - I love how you addressed the mindset blocks around networking, and how you can overcome them by being determined to have fun! Awesome tips!
Great advice about not sticking with the conversation you're comfortable with at an event - get out of your comfort zone and do what it says on the tin - network. Plus, the giving mindset is absolutely essential to becoming a networking Yoda!
Loved this so much I forced my entire team to watch during a lunch and learn. they liked ti so much they insisted I leave you a comment. Get video keep it up!
+Elton Richey thanks Elton...that’s great to hear!
Hi Elton, great comment - so great to see people implementing the free learning on YT - how is networking going for you and your team now?

You’ve earned my follow as a new subscriber.. thank you for your time and energy, I’m going to a massive networking event downtown Tampa at the Hilton Hotel and I’m fairly new at this whole networking thing. I’m not really an introvert so I got most skills you mentioned under control.. but I also gained some more skills through the tips you presented. I want to start my own TH-cam channel soon geared towards physical & mental health.. I’m not a formal professional in either subject but I’ve earned enough life experience points to be a professional in my own right.
I look forward to more videos like this ..
Sincerely, ArayaHope
I had been struggling with this concept on my own channel! Now thanks to your explanation, I’m going to implement it right away and make a video about it. Glad I subscribed to you
Thank you, did 2 pages of notes
Negativity is nothing but insecurity disguised! What a well-said statement it is. So true and awakening.
Glad to hear it's helpful ! Thank you.:-)
Just started class on networking, and this video is ganna do me real good.
What are your suggestions for "finding ways to enjoy the process?" That's what I find to be the most difficult.
so sorry I didn't see this before...the best question to ask yourself is:" How can I make this fun for myself?"
Great video. My question is, how do you make new conversations or new connections with people while you're walking around the room and so many of them are in little groups that don't seem open to new people coming in? It's hard to break into these groups without feeling like you're intruding on a private conversation.
This is absolutely true. So this makes networking almost impossible. You can not even physically approach people and not speak about interrupting their conversation.
You can stay close to the group abt 2m and let them know ur interest. Often someone will look at you or smile , use that opportunity to introduce urself. You can also use phrases like, I was listening to the conversation, interesting that you mentioned.....
You join the group as a listener. If people pause and react, then say “What you’re saying is very interesting, I hope you don’t mind me barging in.”
At the risk of being perceived as being negative, we must realistically consider that in authentic dialogue people do bond over actual concerns of injustice (poverty, domestic violence, workplace bullying, etc. as these and other serious issues can certainly arise depending upon the professionals interacting with), which may sound negative to some, but are absolutely not the same thing.

So much good info. Thank you so much for helping an introverted new business owner to network effectively. When you have a plan like this it makes it less scary and more fun. I am really good at a lot of these but was always too shy to put them into play. Going to use this at my first event this week! Thank you again.

What's your business??
These tips are definitely helpful! Enjoying networking with people is very important!
Nice video, simple and straight forward.
Thank You!
Good advice! Being able to engage with people in networking group can massively increase the exposure to your business, while also being able to let you use your skills, talents and connections to help others in the group as well.
Also, the magic is in the follow-up and work done after the event, the meeting is just the starting point, not the destination.
Great point about the magic being in the follow-up work, you are so right!

@@VideoWithImpact actually I did, I was much more relaxed especially with these tips in mind, thank you!
How was your event?
@@chd2689 hi! thank you for asking :) well I still had some low points when i didn't know what to do or say and I felt anxious. one participant even told me that it's okay, relax.. :D so I can imagine how nervous I looked sometimes. so the conclusion is it takes much more to overcome the anxiety than just one or two occasions so I continue my "journey" :)
Very useful information!
thanks!
It's a help full video sir thx for your valuable time
Thank you in advance. I think I'm going to watch this for the next month every day. Just so it sinks in.

No problem 😊
wow this is a strong message no one will have the courage
What your saying is intelligent, articulate and I very much value your information. Thanks for that.
thanks I feel bad for responding so late!
Great video!
Very informative video
I really like the advice on "giving first receiving later". It's better to offer value to people so they want you around. Also it doesnt make you feel like a leech that's just taking things.
totally.. applies to most things in life!
This is a great idea sir ❤❤❤
Very nice and step by step process really works, I love watching... 🌹👍
thank you!
Great video this can apply to so many social settings and it held well with time. thank you

You are most welcome
Being shy is not the same as being an introvert. The words are not interchangeable. However, some people can have both traits.
No matter you are in what business networking is the single most important tool for success.
Good help I will try to use this in a property meet up. Thanks
Hey Ray, how did you get on with these networking tips at your property meeting? Seen any success with networking?

Do you have a Instagram?
@@travis_straightcash Yes. @shaylamere
Thank you:-)
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
I really enjoyed this video, and think that these steps really apply to life in general! Thanks for posting! Oh, and i did have one thought to add... what about presence? Being present with that person whomever you're talking to, and no matter how short the conversation... from the moment you *take the first step*, to the moment you actively decide to *break away* or *connect them with someone else*. What are your thoughts? Thanks again!
totally agree with you. presence...to be fully there...it can be difficult at a networking event...because there's so much going on...but yes being in the moment, fully listening and responding in the moment..yes absolutely crucial! thanks for adding that!
Also if you can solve a problem for the other person they will remember you more. Then next time you need something they are much more likely to help if they have time.
Oh this is good... no this is REALLY GOOD! Will practice these tips. Just subscribed 🙏🏾👏
Awesome! Thank you!

Stephan i need your advice. I’ll attend a luxury event next month, i’m young and this will be the first event for me. Directly the first one will be a tough one between high net worth individuals. How do i have to deal with it? The only thing i trust is my brand and product. I can’t promise myself for my shyness,being calm and relaxed. Thank you
Very good👍Poland
Brilliant
I'm wondering how to keep a network? As time goes you have a broader network and many people, so how to handle them? how to make use of most of them?
Set a clear goal
Healthy mindset
Initiate
Remain positive
Growth zone (network with others even if you are already comfortable)
Give first, receive later
Connect others
Be curious; focus on mutual benefit
Conversation balance (allow others to speak)
Keep moving (*eye contact* move to speak to others)
Enjoy the process (have fun ! 🥰🧡🎉)
