The Networking Game Plan Checklist
Three phases. Zero fluff. Keep this somewhere you'll actually see it before your next event.
Before the Event
- Review your 30-sec pitch out loud — once
- Set a specific goal (e.g., meet 3 new people)
- Check the attendee list if available
- Arrive 5–10 minutes early — easier to connect before the room fills
- Have your business cards or LinkedIn QR ready
- Do a 60-second mindset reset: "I'm here to connect, not impress."
During the Event
- Ask more than you talk
- Use your clarity statement when asked what you do
- Listen for one specific thing per person you can reference later
- Jot notes on the back of business cards immediately
- End conversations gracefully: "I don't want to keep you — can we connect on LinkedIn?"
- Give yourself permission to take breaks
After the Event
- Follow up within 48 hours
- Personalize every message — reference something specific
- Connect on LinkedIn with a note, not the default message
- Offer something of value — an article, an intro, a resource
- Set a reminder to check in with your top 2–3 contacts in 30 days
- Note what worked — refine your pitch for next time
