MET MONDAYS ✨

These are my top tips on networking at ANY event, not just the Met Gala 😁

1.Anyone at events is there for business. As glam as they look at the event and online, trust me, no one is there for the good of their health. They are there for the next business deal. Personally, going to any event aimlessly is not for me.

2.It’s not about who you know, it’s about who remembers you. Get talking to people, and you will find your tribe and the people you connect with. Some people will understand your business, and some won’t, and that’s ok.

3.Listen more than you speak 👀 It took me a while to learn this, but it’s very effective. Most people just want to be heard, and you don’t know everything, so learn from them.

4.Follow up with people. This is so important. Send an email or text letting them know your conversation was important and that you listened to them.

5.Always be switched on. Yes, get your content, but don’t lose sight of your goals. Enjoy the night too. I always like to get my content first, then it’s business time. Don’t spend the entire night on your phone. Go home otherwise.

6.Stop being self conscious. I see this all the time at events, and it’s heartbreaking. People not feeling good enough, people having to drink at events just to have a conversation, people needing others with them to go to events. All those things just hold you back. Just be yourself, and if no one likes you for that, let them off. This is one thing I feel so passionate about, people should know their worth in a room, especially women.

7.Events are for business. I’m kind of repeating myself here, but you never know who you will meet or who is out there looking for your business to solve their problem.

I had an incredible Met Monday. It’s a very exciting time for therawnetworkofficial , and I’m embracing all these opportunities. Thank you burnaboygram for the invite. A class night.
