Capstone Management’s Director of Operations Offers Networking Advice

“You have to be prepared if you want to maximize your opportunities at a networking event,” Stephanie commented. “I always offer a few words of advice to our team members before they leave for a conference or other industry gathering so they don’t become overwhelmed.”

One thing that the director advises her team members to do is create a list of prospects before the event begins. “Simply taking the time to check the attendee list ahead of time will enable you to develop a networking strategy. That way, you will be able to avoid wandering aimlessly through a crowded event hall.”

Stephanie also urges each member of the Capstone Management team to practice a 30-second networking speech. “Being able to make an effective elevator pitch is important for any professional,” she said. “In a networking context, it’s especially vital. When you only have a minute or two to connect, you must be able to share relevant and unique information about yourself. I tell our people to practice their pitches ahead of time and to make sure they have a clever introduction that will make a lasting impression on the people they meet.”
