In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I build authentic, lasting relationships in the beauty industry (and beyond). After attending 6 events in the last month—3 beauty-related and 3 not—I’m sharing my exact strategy for making the most of the room, connecting with the right people, and following up so those connections actually mean something.
I’ll walk you through:
My favorite hack for remembering people after events
The power of participating and being seen
How I follow up within 48 hours and offer value
Why being consistent keeps you top of mind
The difference between networking and relationship building
Whether you're a makeup artist, esthetician, or beauty entrepreneur—this episode is your guide to building your beauty biz through real human connection.
