In this episode of Been There, Sold That, hosts Phil Whitebloom and Brianna Hendley break down what real networking looks like in today's business world. Forget the awkward "What do you do?" introductions—this episode dives into how to turn every conversation into opportunity by being intentional, specific, and story-driven.

Phil and Brianna share practical strategies to:

• Identify who you should really be networking with
• Craft a 30-second story that gets attention and earns trust
• Set clear goals for each event (hint: seven appointments beat seven business cards)
• Avoid wasting time on "social visits" that don't lead to sales
• Differentiate yourself at live and virtual events with memorable, results-driven approaches

Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, this episode will show you how to make networking pay off—efficiently, effectively, and profitably.
