On Thursday, November 14 from 4 – 6 p.m., Center Sphere (centersphere.com) is hosting a network-wide event at the Qdoba at 211 N 12th St., all members and guests are invited! Set yourself up for success! Just like with any networking event, the more prepared you are, the more likely you are to succeed.

  1. Bring Your Confidence: There is no denying the influence someone has when they walk into the room totally confident and in control. Let this be you!
  2. Know What You’re Going to Say: Have talking points already picked out, including small talk as well as your elevator pitch.
  3. Share Your Contact Info: For in-person events, be sure to have a good supply of business cards to hand out to those you connect with. Meeting virtually? No problem! Simply type your contact info into the chat bar.
  4. Come Early, Stay Late: It doesn’t matter if it’s an in-person social or a virtual collaborative. The real connections are almost always made before or after the event. Use this time to get to know someone and in turn, they’ll want to know more about you!
  5. The Key is in the Follow Up: Networking doesn’t end when the event is over, or at least it shouldn’t. Never underestimate the power of authentic follow up with those you connect with. Whether it’s shooting them a quick email or sending them a handwritten note, the extra effort will be noticed.

Center Sphere can’t wait to see you there.
