networking 101
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- when you dm someone new, ask for a specific short amount of time and name the exact topic you want to discuss
- stop trying to sell yourself at networking events and instead get genuinely curious about the other person
- at conferences, pick a handful of people you actually want to connect with and leave once you have met them
- treat networking as making friends, not making a pitch, and keep outreach messages short and real
- if you want to get serious about using linkedin for networking, cut distracting apps and put your focus there instead
