Tips for Mom Entrepreneurs: How to Stay Connected to Your Network
Networking is crucial for achieving success both at work and in life. For working moms, this means adopting a unique approach to networking.
Building Relationships
Networking isn’t just about collecting business cards. It’s about planting seeds and nurturing lasting relationships. As a mom, you’re already skilled in nurturing, so use these abilities to build connections over time.
Empowering Actions
Often, people at networking events focus solely on promoting themselves, which may come across as desperate. Instead, leverage your natural authority to engage in more impactful actions:
- Give: Begin with a giving mindset. Ask, “How can I help you?” Always think of who you can connect them with. Helping others encourages them to help you in return.
- Ask: Be fearless. If you sense a strong connection with someone, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.
- Follow Up: Meeting the right people is just the start. Reach out within a day or two with a call, email, or thank-you note. Keep the connection alive with periodic check-ins.
Efficient Use of Time
Feeling pressed for time? Here are three strategies to fit networking into your schedule:
- Lunch Hours: Transform your lunch break into a networking opportunity. Replace breakfast meetings or evening mixers with networking lunches, saving morning and evening family time.
- Phone Coffee/Lunch: Inspired by my business partner, try scheduling “coffee” over the phone. It saves time and travel while allowing meaningful connections. Plan a phone lunch date, pack your lunch, and call at the agreed time.
- Schedule in Advance: Use your calendar to plan periodic reconnections. If you meet someone today, schedule a follow-up call for two days later and an email check-in within 60 days.
Remember, successful networking is about cultivating relationships over time. By following these steps, you can create enriching connections that support your business without taking up too much time.
