1 Identify your goals

Before you start networking, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Are you looking for a mentor, a partner, a client, or a referral? Are you interested in learning new skills, exploring new industries, or finding new challenges? Having specific and realistic goals will help you focus your efforts and tailor your messages. It will also help you measure your progress and evaluate your results.

Decision making is like a puzzle, we always try to find the golden piece that makes the balance. Drawing on my personal approach in networking, the purpose is either to build exposure or expand knowledge. I found two main skills are critical to achieve these goals; good listening and story telling. Skilled listeners can acquire new thinking strands and insights from networking throughout their journey of life long learning and thirsting for wisdom. And great story tellers can gain rapid exposure and support from their network. In many times, we start networking with these two goals in mind and then new opportunities unfold. Therefore, I don't think to need to literally identify the purpose, networking always brings positive outcomes.

2 Research your contacts

Once you have your goals in mind, you need to find the right people to connect with. You can use various sources, such as online platforms, industry events, alumni networks, or personal referrals. However, you should not just reach out to anyone who seems relevant. You should do some research on your potential contacts and learn about their background, interests, achievements, and challenges. This will help you understand their perspective, find common ground, and create value for them.

Pre-knowing who you are meeting is important to lead conversation to the topics that you have common interest. These conversations can then meaningfully enable you to learn about each other. If time permits and it is not a cold engagement. Always spend time to understand who you are engaging with.

3 Communicate effectively

When you contact someone for the first time, you need to make a good impression and establish rapport. You should use a polite and professional tone, introduce yourself briefly, and explain why you are reaching out. You should also state your goal clearly and concisely, and ask for a specific action or response. For example, you could ask for advice, feedback, information, or an introduction. You should also show appreciation and respect for their time and expertise.

4 Follow up and maintain contact

Networking is not a one-time activity, but a continuous process of building and nurturing relationships. You should follow up with your contacts after your initial interaction and thank them for their help. You should also keep in touch with them regularly and update them on your progress and achievements. You should also look for ways to reciprocate and offer your assistance or resources. By doing so, you will show your interest, gratitude, and reliability.

5 Expand your network

Networking is not only about connecting with people who are already in your field or industry, but also about exploring new horizons and opportunities. You should be open to meeting people from different backgrounds, sectors, and roles. You should also seek to diversify your network and include people with different levels of experience, expertise, and influence. By expanding your network, you will increase your exposure, knowledge, and potential.
