Episode overview

What makes someone genuinely good at networking? It is not delivering the perfect sales pitch, collecting as many business cards as possible or telling everyone in the room what you do.

Show notes

What makes someone genuinely good at networking? It is not delivering the perfect sales pitch, collecting as many business cards as possible or telling everyone in the room what you do.

In this episode, Johnny, Mike and Wicus explore why the best networking starts with curiosity, authenticity and a genuine interest in other people. They discuss how to make a memorable first impression, ask questions that lead to real conversations, explain the value you create without launching into a sales pitch and build relationships that develop into trust over time.

They also share their thoughts on what makes a great business event, why some speakers can kill the atmosphere and how a little humour, preparation and personality can help even the most nervous networker feel at home in the room.
