1 Identify your goals

Before you start networking, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. Do you want to find new clients, partners, mentors, or referrals? Do you want to learn new skills, insights, or trends? Do you want to raise your profile, reputation, or influence? Having specific and realistic goals will help you focus your networking efforts and measure your progress.

Mi recomendación para generar un networking genuino que perdure en el tiempo se basa en contactar a personas sin esperar nada a cambio, el networking “transaccional“ interesado, no perdura y se nota. Es importante el ?para qué del networking?

Prioritize your goals based on their importance and feasibility. Break down larger objectives into smaller, actionable steps to make them more manageable. Additionally, regularly reassess and refine your goals as your networking journey evolves. Stay flexible and open to new opportunities that align with your overarching objectives. Finally, leverage your existing network to gain insights and support in refining your goals and strategizing your networking approach.

2 Research your audience

Once you have your goals, you need to find out who are the people who can help you reach them. Who are the decision-makers, influencers, or experts in your niche or industry? What are their pain points, challenges, or interests? Where do they hang out, online or offline? How can you connect with them in a meaningful way? Researching your audience will help you tailor your message, offer value, and stand out.

3 Leverage your existing network

You don't have to start from scratch when it comes to networking. You already have a network of contacts, such as your current and former clients, colleagues, friends, family, or alumni. These are people who know you, trust you, and can vouch for you. You can leverage your existing network by asking for introductions, referrals, testimonials, or feedback. You can also keep in touch with them, share relevant content, or invite them to events.

Consider organizing networking events or gatherings specifically tailored to your existing network's interests and needs. Foster a culture of reciprocity by actively seeking opportunities to support and promote your connections' endeavors. Utilize social media platforms to amplify your network's reach and engagement through strategic sharing and tagging. Offer value-added services or resources exclusive to your network members to incentivize continued engagement and loyalty.

4 Expand your network

While your existing network is important, you also need to branch out and meet new people. You can expand your network by attending events, workshops, webinars, or conferences related to your niche or industry. You can also join online communities, forums, groups, or podcasts where your target audience is active. When you meet new people, be friendly, curious, and respectful. Ask open-ended questions, listen actively, and show interest. Don't forget to follow up and keep the conversation going.
