Welcome to episode 5. Ever walked into a networking event and felt like you've walked into the wrong room? Don’t panic! It doesn’t mean you're bad at networking, you just haven’t found the right group yet! In this episode I share my experiences of networking for the first time as a business owner and how I learned over time why it’s good to find a group who can support you as much as you can support them.

Main points:

Recognising how important it is to find a networking group that is right for you as an individual as well as a business.
Why it’s important to find a network that can give you support in your business when you need it.
How being authentic in your follow up will get you the best results and help you stick in people’s minds.
