Our Best Networking Tips - Celebrating 50 Podcast Epsiodes
Hi All!
This week we are celebrating the release of our 50th podcast episode! In honor of this milestone we are sharing our best networking tips from the past 50 episodes.
When we were in law school the emails announcing a networking event would strike fear in our hearts. Many years later we have honed our networking skills and mastered the tips and techniques we wish we had when we were in law school. But we didn’t know what we didn’t know - we can’t go back but we can share it all with you.
The Law Student’s Guide to Networking - Episode #27
In Episode #27, we shared our networking philosophy, which serves as the foundation for all the advice we give to law students and attorneys. Our networking philosophy is to make a connection, establish a relationship, and develop that relationship into one that is mutually beneficial. A networking philosophy is so important because building a professional network doesn’t happen overnight. Using our networking philosophy as the foundation for building that professional network, we shared our three pillars for building strong professional networking relationships.
That episode is packed with so much solid advice about building a professional network. As you really think about how to build your network, Episode #27 really is one to go back to a few times and think about how to execute a networking plan.
Follow Up and Follow Through - Episode #29
As you are executing the building of your professional network, follow up and follow through is essential. In Episode #29, we discussed ways that you can follow up and follow through for your network after you have met someone that you want to stay connected with. That starts with figuring out where this person might fit into your network.
This episode resonated with so many listeners because the development of the networking relationship can sometimes seem even more daunting than making that initial connection. One of the best ways to follow up and follow through for your network is to make referrals. This is a great way to build your network - but how do you actually do it?
Building Your Network - Episode #20
In Episode #20, Amy shared how she utilized formal professional networking groups to build her network and facilitate referral relationships. Clients are very valuable to us and it is important to make quality referrals. When you are practicing as an attorney, client referrals are likely a major part of your networking plan. But as a law student or even a brand new attorney with little to know experience to offer a client networking might feel overwhelming, to say the least.
Networking With Confidence - Episode #16
In Episode #16, we go in deep to uncover how to build your confidence when networking. This advice applies to any stage of your career. We share our best networking tip straight from this episode.
Preparation.
When you are prepared to network because you understand who you are and what you are seeking you will be a more confident and effective networker.
Let us know your favorite networking tip!
Have a great day!
Haley & Amy
