What should you be thinking before you walk into a networking event if you want more referrals and better conversations?
In this episode, Faithann Basore shares her 3-Question Networking Reset—a simple, intentional way to shift your mindset before entering any networking meeting or one-to-one. Instead of walking in distracted or reactive, this reset helps you become more present, more curious, and more referable.
Faithann explains how a quick pause—right after you park your car or before you walk into a room—can completely change how you show up, what you notice, and the opportunities you create.
You’ll learn how to move from “just attending” networking events to walking in with clarity, purpose, and awareness.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why a mental reset before networking matters more than most people realize
- How to calm your nervous system and become more present before entering a room
- The 3 questions that help you become more referable in any networking environment
- How to recognize opportunities for yourself and others in real time
- Why small behaviors (like communication and follow-through) impact your referral reputation
The 3-Question Networking Reset
Before walking into your next networking meeting, ask yourself:
- Will my behavior today reinforce to others that I’m referable?
- What opportunities are here waiting for me?
- What opportunities do I have for others in this room that I just don’t know about yet?
When you walk in with these questions in mind, you show up differently—and people feel that.
Hop on a discovery call when you’d like support finding more opportunities in the networking rooms you’re already in.
