358. Organically connecting | Natalie of Illiano Events
Manage episode 503977730 series 3635969
In this episode I’m chatting with Natalie of Illiano Events and she’s dishing out tons of ideas and advice for us to network in a way that feels organic and natural. Networking is not something that comes natural to me so I was so happy to have her on and hear her ideas.
Natalie shares the specific ways this approach has grown her business, the time commitment involved and so much more. She offers great advice for working your way up to commitments like the Chamber of Commerce, for example, as well as conversation starters that help you and your business get involved.
I was sure to ask about donations, and when or if there’s ever a conflict of interest through participating in these groups, and Natalie shared helpful pointers on those things as well.
We go on to cover ways that you can utilize your own personal network, or even start your own group, too! Huge thanks to Natalie for sharing so many tips that make networking (now also known as friend-making) feel so much more approachable!
In the UGlu Hotline, hear a tip that Dante of Dream Factory Balloons shared at Balloon Boss Summit 2024 that made a big difference for me in my huge Balloon Adventure installation.
