Networking in the Virtual World | Jack Mondel

One of the most effective ways to improve your practice is by networking with other advisors. It's very common for people to learn how other professionals manage their businesses. However, in today's social environment, it's very unlikely that you'll be able to introduce yourself to new people at events or even meet up regularly. This is why it's important that you embrace networking in a virtual world.

When it comes to networking, how can you connect with clients, colleagues, and prospects in productive and meaningful ways when you can't do so in person? In this article, we'll talk about five strategies that will help you get started.

Be intentional

One of the most important factors that you should consider when it comes to networking is scheduling. This is because if you don't plan on doing something on your calendar, it will most likely not happen. Having a set of days or times that you can schedule for new connections will allow you to make the most of your opportunities. Try using various mediums such as email, video conference, and social media to connect with your potential clients.

Increase your social media presence

It's a great time to update or revisit your LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter profiles. It's important to remember that being authentic is very important in order to get the most out of these platforms. It's also a good idea to take some time to boost your LinkedIn activities.

It's free and easy to use, and it can be a great way to build and strengthen relationships with people in the industry. Twitter is also a great way to connect with people who are new to you. 

Try to engage in conversations that promote what makes you different and showcase your strengths. You should also look for content that can help you express your point of view and promote your brand.

Preparation is key

Zoom has a ton of great capabilities; it's easy to make a misstep. It's important to prepare for a virtual meeting just like you would for an in-person session. This will allow you to introduce yourself to potential clients and make the most of your opportunities.

The first impression is very important when it comes to building and strengthening relationships with people in the industry. It's also important to remember that being authentic is very important in order to get the most out of these opportunities. One of the most important factors that you should consider when it comes to networking is being able to dress appropriately.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many people out of their comfort zones. They're adapting to working remotely while still maintaining their family's needs, and they're also finding it hard to connect with people in their communities. The good news is that many of us are able to find support and encouragement from other individuals in our lives. As you start or reinvigorate your networking efforts, take advantage of this opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with people in your community. They'll most likely be more receptive to your efforts and respond positively to your message.
