Small, personal stories

Before you read on, here's something about me you should know 🙂 Honestly, it was the first networking party I attended that was business focused. I'm not an extrovert, though I sometimes muster up the courage for business interactions. I've never worked on SaaS(especially multi-purpose website builder) customer acquisition before. My goals and plans ✅ To hear the challenges of people who are running communities. At least 3 people → Conclusions, failures → I was aiming too high. I should have set a goal of talking to 3 people as a start. What I've achieved ✨ Connected with 1 person on LinkedIn What I learnt ✍️ Check if it's a seated or standing party. This can make a difference in the depth of conversation you can have. If it's a standing party, taking a standing table automatically gives you points for talking to others. (I find it hard to approach others, but it's much easier to respond when someone talks to me.) What some people do at networking events wasn’t what I expected. It would have helped to have a topic prepared for each person, but I was too nervous to do that.
