If networking feels random or draining, it’s because most of us walk in without a plan and hope for magic. In this conversation with Sarah Hubbard, we map out a simple, repeatable framework that turns handshakes into second meetings and second meetings into real opportunities. You’ll hear how to set clear intentions before you ever step into the room, use authentic stories to build trust, and craft precise asks that people can actually act on.
We unpack the MAP method: Mindset and intention, Authenticity and curiosity, Precise messaging, and Purposeful follow-through. Sarah shows how AI can scan attendee lists, surface the top five people to meet, and even suggest icebreakers that don’t feel forced. We dig into practical tools like Blinq e-cards and lean CRMs so you can capture details on the spot, then dictate quick voice notes to generate tailored follow-ups. You’ll learn why “anybody” kills your pitch, how seasonal focus sharpens your ask, and how to tap second-degree networks when you keep seeing the same faces.
The payoff comes from consistency. We walk through a simple A/B/C system to organize your contacts and a one-hour weekly block to deliver personal touches that build trust. If you’ve ever struggled with follow-up, you’ll get templates, prompts, and a cadence you can actually sustain. Whether you’re an introvert who leads with questions or an extrovert who loves the room, this approach helps you show up as yourself and make your network work. Grab Sarah’s free AI prompts to jumpstart your prep, then hit play and build a system that fits your style. If this hits home, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more builders can find it.
