The Invite That Is Never Coming: How To Open Doors & Network

When you run a business you can’t do everything yourself. You need other people to lift you up to greater heights and to be your loyal customers. To find these unicorns, you need to network. But guess what? That Facebook friend request or Instagram follow is not networking. Networking is about building IN PERSON personal relationships that are mutually beneficial.

On this week’s episode of We All Have One, Corri takes things old school and teaches you how to network like a boss. She talks about her first experience breaking into a group of ‘ladies who lunch’ and what it taught her about showing up to shark tank situations despite being completely out of your comfort zone.

Corri shares valuable tips to help you go to that next happy hour event or speaker panel and conquer. Listen in to learn why you should always say yes when you’re starting out, why you need to follow up, and learn about the power of thank you notes!
