Networking Tip: Make it Personal
While networking events are a networking staple, try doing something a little more personal to supplement your efforts. Use your contact’s name in your conversation. Share something (G-rated) via email that they might enjoy – especially something that isn’t business related. Send a card or an email on their work anniversary (you can find this information on LinkedIn). Also consider inviting a contact to lunch or coffee – it might just give you an extra edge.
Business contacts are people too!
