From CareerBuilder.com comes this advice thanks to Deanna Hartley (Courier-Post Feb. 12, 2017)
Start with these tips to turn any social situation into a networking opportinuty:
- Proactively seek out opportunities
- Look for opportunities while traveling
- Mingle at conferences
- Find ways to add value to others
- When you meet a stranger, strive to engage in authentic conversations
Here are my two adds:
- Craft and practice delivering an effective “Elevator Speech” [See The Public Relations Practitioner’s Playbook for (all) Strategic Communicators Chapter 13]
- Have your business cards closely at hand — with a QR code on it
