Getting the Most out of Networking
SMPS events can be great ways to expand your network and advance your career. Here are some tips for getting the most out of SMPS events:
- Set a personal goal prior to each event.
- Introduce yourself and ask questions about others.
- Look to recent news items or events for topics of conversation.
- Sit with someone you don’t know.
- Schedule follow-up conversations with those you meet.
Remember, networking is just as much about giving leads and being a resource as it is about reaping benefits yourself; helping others will help you!
