On this episode of The Inside BS Show, Dave Lorenzo and Nicola Gelormino reveal the five most common — and most damaging — networking mistakes that professionals make. They share real-life examples, practical strategies, and follow-up systems that can transform your networking from awkward exchanges into lasting, valuable relationships.

Key Topics Discussed

  1. Mistake #1 – Making it about you: Why self-focused introductions turn people off and how to shift attention to the other person.
  2. Mistake #2 – Failing to deliver value first: How to create anticipation by helping before you ask for anything in return.
  3. Mistake #3 – Pitching too soon: Why immediate sales messages ruin connections, especially on LinkedIn, and what to do instead.
  4. Mistake #4 – Not being human: How vulnerability, humor, and finding common ground break down barriers.
  5. Mistake #5 – Neglecting follow-up: Building a system of multiple, thoughtful follow-ups to turn initial meetings into real relationships.
