Networking in 2026 is not about collecting business cards, LinkedIn connections, or names in your phone you’ll never text (spoiler alert - that hasn't worked for years, if ever). It’s about building real relationships on purpose. If your “networking strategy” is: - Show up - Smile - Pitch - Disappear ...we need to upgrade that software 😄 A Smarter Networking Strategy for 2026 1️⃣ Give First. Always. The fastest way to stand out? Be useful. Make introductions. Share insight. Offer support. No scorekeeping. 2️⃣ Be HuRU Authentic. People don’t connect with polished personas—they connect with real humans. Know Hu U R and show up as that person. 3️⃣ Depth > Volume. Ten meaningful relationships beat 100 shallow ones every single time. Stop “networking.” Start connecting. 4️⃣ Listen Like It Matters (because it does). Ask better questions. Be curious. Listen to understand, not to reload your pitch. 5️⃣ Be Consistent, Not Transactional. Real networks are built in the follow-up, the check-in, the “this made me think of you” moments. 6️⃣ Mix Online + Offline Intentionally. LinkedIn, DMs, texts, coffee, events—use all of it, but with intention and alignment. 7️⃣ Set a Simple Goal. Why are you networking this year? Growth? Opportunity? Community? Get clear—or you’ll drift. Networking done right isn’t about who can help you next. It’s about who you’re becoming known as over time. 🔥 HuRU Crew Check-In: 👉 What’s ONE networking habit you’re committing to in 2026?
