1 Refine Your Pitch

Crafting a concise and compelling elevator pitch is crucial when meeting new contacts. Your pitch should summarize who you are, what you do, and what value you bring to the table. It's essential to tailor your message to the context of the interaction, highlighting relevant skills and experiences that resonate with the person you're speaking with. Practice delivering your pitch confidently and authentically, ensuring it reflects your professional identity and aspirations. Remember, the goal is to pique interest and facilitate further conversation, not to close a deal on the spot.

First impressions are unspeakably important, and what and how you say about yourself gives others a chance to understand whether you are worth doing business with today and in the future. Of course, the elevator speech is important, but so is the audience you are speaking to. Know your audience so that your pitch will resonate with them and create the foundation for next interactions.

I help [target market] with [goal] through [unique value proposition] Keep it simple and allow people to understand what you do at a glance before diving into the how and highlighting your most impressive skills and experience: A framework I like for this is is the one above. Here is it in practice: "I help tech start ups, retain users with researched backed UX" or in the case of myself... "I help job seekers, find their happy Monday's, through tailored coaching and proven strategies"

Ter um pitch de elevador na manga é essencial. Prepara uma apresenta??o rápida, de tipo 30 segundos, que resuma o que você faz, suas principais habilidades e como pode agregar. Tem que ser claro, direto e interessante pra fisgar a aten??o logo de cara. Assim, quando você encontrar alguém importante, já está preparado pra causar uma boa impress?o. E o segredo é praticar até sair natural, pra n?o parecer um rob? 100% ensaiado.

2 Leverage Existing Networks

You likely have an existing network of colleagues and acquaintances that can be invaluable in expanding your professional circle. Reconnect with former coworkers, classmates, and even friends who may now be in positions to provide new connections or opportunities. A warm introduction from a mutual contact can be much more effective than a cold outreach. Don't forget to offer your support and assistance in return; networking is a two-way street, and reciprocity builds stronger, more meaningful relationships.

Um jeito simples de fortalecer o networking é come?ar pelas pessoas que você já conhece. Sua rede atual pode ser um super recurso pra te conectar com novas oportunidades. Troca ideia, marca uns cafés, e se mantém presente. Pede indica??es de quem já confia em você e n?o tenha medo de ativar esses contatos. Muitas vezes, o pulo do gato tá em quem tá mais próximo e você nem percebeu ainda!

3 Attend Industry Events

Industry conferences, seminars, and workshops are excellent places to meet like-minded professionals and industry leaders. When attending these events, set a goal for the number of new contacts you'd like to make, and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone to initiate conversations. Be an active participant by asking questions and sharing your insights during sessions, which can naturally lead to discussions with other attendees. Follow up with new connections promptly after the event to solidify the relationship and explore potential collaborations.

Participar de eventos é uma estratégia muito forte vale muito a pena estar em conferências, meetups, workshops e happy hours. Nessas horas, rola de conhecer gente nova, trocar Whats e bater um papo informal que pode render conex?es fortes. Importante estar preparado com umas perguntas e insights sobre o evento pra puxar conversa. E n?o esquecer do follow-up depois, mandando uma mensagem ou conectando aqui no LinkedIn.

4 Embrace Social Media

Social media platforms, particularly those geared toward professionals, are powerful tools for networking. Create a strong online presence by sharing industry news, contributing to discussions, and showcasing your expertise. Engage with others by commenting on posts, joining groups, and participating in online forums related to your field. This can help you establish yourself as a thought leader and attract connections who are interested in what you have to offer. Be strategic about your interactions and remember that quality trumps quantity when it comes to building an online network.

As a middle aged professional, it was around COVID times that I realised the importance of networking & the importance of social media in elevating that networking. It was around that time that I started my own FaceBook Page by the name of WALKS OF LIFE (All about Leadership, Learning & Life Skills) wherein experts from different walks of life shared their experiences & expertise. It was during one such session that I got to understand the nuances of LinkedIn and other social media platforms & tools. Since then, there has been no looking back. So join groups, post regularly, make reels & carousels, do what you can and build your online empire which can subsequently help you build your offline empire as well.

5 Nurture Relationships

Networking isn't just about making new contacts; it's also about nurturing the relationships you already have. Regularly check in with your network, offer help when you can, and share information that may be of interest to them. Personalized communication, such as a handwritten note or a tailored email, can make a significant impact. Keep track of key details about your contacts, such as their interests or recent achievements, to make your interactions more meaningful and demonstrate that you value the relationship beyond professional gain.

Uma forma que curto muito para fortalecer o networking é através de esportes tipo padel, golf ou beach tennis. Esses ambientes mais relaxados criam oportunidades de se conectar com pessoas fora do esquema formal. Marcar umas partidas com clientes, parceiros ou colegas de mercado, e usa esses momentos pra fortalecer o relacionamento. é um jeito leve e divertido de fazer networking, mostrando que você tá ali para além dos negócios.

In a satellite communication project, I pursued specialised knowledge in signal interference mitigation, a niche area within the field. By mastering this topic, I became a go-to person for colleagues dealing with similar challenges. At an industry conference, I discussed this expertise with a senior engineer, who later connected me with a global satellite firm for a collaborative project. Developing niche expertise through continuous learning attracts high-level connections who value your specialised knowledge, making you a critical resource within your professional network.
