10 unbelievable tips on how to be the most impressive version of yourself in the networking jungle.
Tip Number One 💨
When you see someone professional who you would like to engage in a transactional relationship with, walk up to them and stare at the back of their head. This might take some time, but is one of the most effective ways to begin a conversation with someone who is more professional than you.
Often when employing this tactic, you will be met with this common phrase: “ummm do you need something.” And thats exactly what you want to hear! So get out there and break the ice with this first tip.
Tip Number Two ↔️
When in the professional setting, always approach your prey from the left hand side. People tend to spend most of their time looking to the right, so why would you approach from the side they can see you coming from? Utilize the element of surprise, catch them off guard. Approach from the left!

Tip Number Four 🐍
You’re networking! You’re talking to people who have no idea who you are… so why let them think you’re anything other than what you want them to think that you think that you are?
Fake it! Say what you want, be who you want, pain the picture that you want them to see. You can be an investor, a dancer, a middle-school drop out and Harvard alum, you can be anyone so why not be cool?
Tip Number Five 👗
Everyone wears a black suit or a polo or something boring. Don’t be like everyone. Wear something different. Be something special! Don’t let term “Business professional” limit your creative expression. You are your own person, so dress in your own way. People will remember that.
Tip Number Six 👂
Its hard enough to get someones time, but to get their ear is even harder. This foolproof tip guarantees 100% success in getting anyones attention: hold their ear. Yeah, thats right! Actually hold their ear. Not through the importance of what you say or way you tell the story but with your fingers.
Just hold onto their ear and tell them what you need to tell them. We guarantee they will listen.
And thats all! ⌛
