We’ve all been there—walking into a networking event, unsure who to talk to or how to start a conversation. But networking doesn’t have to feel transactional or forced. The key? Building genuine, meaningful connections that add value to your career, business, and personal growth.
At Femme Network, we believe that networking is more than just exchanging business cards—it’s about creating relationships that uplift and empower. Let’s dive into how you can make connections that truly matter.
1)Start with the Right Mindset
Effective networking isn’t about collecting the most contacts—it’s about building real relationships. Shift your mindset from “What can I get?” to “How can I add value?”
✨ Be curious—ask about their journey, passions, and challenges.
✨ Be authentic—people connect with real, genuine energy.
✨ Be intentional—focus on quality over quantity.
2)Conversation Starters That Work
Approaching someone new can feel intimidating, but the right conversation starter makes it effortless. Here are a few go-to openers :
💬 At Events :
“What inspired you to attend this event?”
“What’s the most exciting project you’re working on right now?”
“I love your perspective on [topic]. How did you get into this field?”
💬 Online (LinkedIn, Instagram, Femme Network) :
“I came across your post on [topic]—loved your insights! Would love to connect.”
“I admire the work you’re doing in [industry]. Let’s exchange ideas!”
“Your career journey is inspiring! What’s one piece of advice you’d give to women starting out?”
3)Make the Right Connections
Not every connection will be the right fit, and that’s okay! Here’s how to network strategically :
🤝 Identify the people who align with your career or business goals.
💡 Engage in communities like Femme Network where ambitious women support each other.
👑 Seek mentors, collaborators, and allies—not just opportunities.
4)The Follow-Up : Turning Connections into Relationships
Networking doesn’t end when the event is over or the chat ends—it’s what happens after that truly counts.
📩 Follow up within 48 hours—send a message or email referencing your conversation.
📌 Add value—share a resource, article, or event they might find interesting.
🎉 Stay engaged—interact with their content, congratulate milestones, and nurture the connection.
At Femme Network, we’re building a space where women can network with ease, confidence, and purpose. Ready to expand your circle?
