How are you networking in the face of the new decade?
Answered by:
I've experienced quite the opposite from face-to-face networking - the more it changes, the less I care about labeling and defining it. At the end of the day, I want to meet new people and stay in contact with the people I value.
In business networking, if you lead with giving value and building meaningful relationships, gaining new business is a simple result of it.
Sometimes, you have to get out of "networking" to benefit from networking.

Agreed. I really do my research to see how I can be relevant to the person.
I put myself in their shoes, especially if I'm doing the asking, to see how I can make sense of it from their perspective. If someone isn't into face-to-face I often find they don't value building relationships that have the possibility of extending beyond that moment.
