Holiday Season Networking Tip 🔑 :

The holiday season is one of the best times of the year to build your network. There’s an abundance of Friendsgiving events, holiday galas, end of year celebrations, awards ceremonies, and other festive networking events this time of year.

You’ll be meeting a lot of people and running out of physical business cards very quickly. I highly recommend you find a digital business card option that works for you (I recommend these— the Linq Card and the Popl card or the Hi Hello App). Another option is to have people scan your Linkedin profile’s QR Code. A huge part of networking is following up with your connections so make sure you have a system in place that works for you to help you follow up!

Since the holiday is this week, the networking events are a little lighter but there are still some great moves to help you LEVELUP in NYC. We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving 🦃 !
