Think You’re ‘Too Introverted’ to Network? Think Again! (Ep #24)
Manage episode 485384089 series 3579254
Networking has a bit of a reputation problem.
Too salesy, too shouty, too not you.
If you’ve ever skipped an event because you couldn’t face the awkward intros and forced smiles – this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Upside-Up Marketing Podcast, I’m joined by Janine Friston from The Female Business Network to explore how networking can be quiet, powerful, and totally on your terms – even if you’d rather hide in the toilets than “work the room”.
We’re unpacking the real value of networking, how it can deepen your marketing, and what to do if you’re heading to a big event soon and feeling a bit… panicky about it.
