1 Identify your goals and target audience

Before you start reaching out to people, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and who you want to connect with. Do you want to find mentors, peers, potential clients, or collaborators? Do you want to learn new skills, get feedback, or explore new opportunities? Having a specific goal and target audience will help you focus your efforts and tailor your messages.

The best way is to utilize social media like linkedin. Other than that one can attend seminars, conference, workshops to meet professionals in similar field. But the most important key is to follow up with people after making initial contacts.

Define your networking goals, whether it's seeking mentorship, job opportunities, or industry insights. Identify your target audience, focusing on professionals who align with your career aspirations. Attend industry events, conferences, and meetups to connect with like-minded individuals. Utilize online platforms, such as LinkedIn, to join relevant groups and engage in industry discussions. Be genuine and approach networking with a mindset of building meaningful relationships rather than just seeking immediate benefits.

Existe método pra que isso seja feito, n?o pode ser feito sem um plano de a??o consistente se você quer realmente ter sucesso na nova empreitada, vamos a alguns pontos: 1 - identificando objetivos e público - alvo, busque em seu mailling próprio os primeiros prospects que você irá abordar, e use-os para treinar. Come?ar falando com pessoas que você já conhece ajuda na sua confian?a. 2 - Tenha em mente que sua convers?o no início será baixa pois, lhe falta maturidade no segmento. Para evitar um resultado ruim, compense com volume, prospecte 2 ou 3x mais clientes pelo menos nesse inicio para que assim você aumente o numero de negócio fechado, mesmo com uma convers?o baixa

2 Use online platforms and tools

One of the easiest and most effective ways to build your professional network is to use online platforms and tools that are designed for networking. For example, you can use LinkedIn to create a profile, join groups, follow influencers, and send personalized invitations to people you want to connect with. You can also use other social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, to follow and engage with relevant accounts, hashtags, and communities. Additionally, you can use tools like Meetup, Eventbrite, or Zoom to find and attend online events, webinars, or workshops that interest you and meet other attendees.

Existem alguns caminhos importantes para um profissional construir sua rede de relacionamento mesmo sendo novo no setor. Um ponto importante é participar de eventos relacionados ao setor que está buscando, aproveitando esse momento para conhecer pessoas e trocar contatos. O uso das redes sociais profissionais hoje se tornaram uma excelente forma de entrada em um novo setor, pois diminui distancias e gera velocidade, eliminando etapas no processo. N?o esperar que as pessoas/oportunidades apare?am ou "caiam do céu". Ter iniciativa de buscar pessoas de interesse e participar de projetos colaborativos buscando se tornar conhecido dentro do setor.

3 Be proactive and consistent

Networking is not a one-time activity, but a continuous process that requires proactive and consistent action. You can't expect to build a strong network by sending a few messages or attending a few events. You need to follow up with your contacts, keep in touch with them, and provide value to them. For example, you can share useful resources, offer help, give feedback, or introduce them to other people. You also need to update your profile, post relevant content, and participate in discussions regularly.

Even if you are new to the industry, you can offer help on a wide range of topics. Even by asking questions of the current SMEs, you will help them to sharpen their message, while learning more yourself.

4 Be genuine and respectful

Networking is not about collecting contacts or asking for favors. It's about building relationships based on mutual respect and genuine interest. When you network, you should be yourself, be honest, and be respectful. Don't pretend to be someone you're not, don't lie about your skills or experience, and don't spam or harass people. Instead, show genuine curiosity, appreciation, and enthusiasm. Ask open-ended questions, listen actively, and give compliments. Respect people's time, privacy, and preferences.

This is such a true statement. Instead of putting on a mask or act try to be that person genuinely because building a relationship on a lie will never withstand it in the long run. Try to improve your people's skills, be pleasant and have a good communication then things will happen automatically.

5 Seek feedback and improve

Networking is also a learning opportunity that can help you improve your skills and performance. You can seek feedback from your network on your work, your goals, or your challenges. You can also ask for advice, recommendations, or referrals. However, you should also be open to constructive criticism, suggestions, and different perspectives. Don't take feedback personally, but use it to grow and improve. You should also thank your network for their feedback and show them how you implemented it.

Identifying key areas of interest of the community can not only give you a head start, however make longterm connections possible as world is becoming smaller and you tend to meet the same faces later as well! For me, I was lucky fo find my mentor in such an event and will always be thankful for the same.
