Network and outreach tips

Always Lead With Curiosity, Not a Pitch.

The biggest networking mistake: treating every conversation as transactional. People remember how you made them feel, not what you said about yourself.

The counterintuitive truth: the less you talk about yourself, the more memorable you become. Selling is the outcome of good networking, not the goal of it.

Ask first. Always.

Try these openers:

"Are you working on anything interesting these days?"
"What's going on in [their industry] right now?"
"What's the biggest challenge in your business lately?"
"What kind of clients are you most excited to work with right now?"
"Is there anything you're trying to figure out or solve in your business this year?"
"What's keeping you the busiest right now?"
