Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for your clear message about presenting yourself. I will practice before the next networking event. I especially like the part about call to action, which I usually forget to include. So thanks for reminding!
Thank you for your feedback Dorota! Yes, the call to action is so important and makes a huge difference. Have fun with it and let me know how it goes.
It was good meeting you F2F on Wednesday.
Thank you so much for the information. I do most of what you’ve mentioned, however it seems that there is somthing missing , can’t figure out waht would that be, is that few people are coming to me for more informtion, any tips?
Wonderful to meet you in person as well Basema! About your introduction, what’s your call to action? What do you invite people to do if they want to know more?
Thanks Stephanie for this short concise and very important reminder!
Will work on this before our next networking event next Monday! I had not been adding a call to action to my introductions. Great tip!
Best,
Rajka
Great to hear Rajka! Adding your call to action should make a big difference.
I haven’t been to any networking events yet but I’ll be sure to follow this great advice when I do.
Thank you. Networking events can be a little scary but you have explained exactly how I can introduce myself, say what I need to say clearly and include a call to action. It all makes sense to me now.
Appreciate your feedback, Vanessa. You’re right, networking events can be scary. And if you go with an open mind and eagerness to learn about othere people it will be a breeze. Have fun at your next event!
