Welcome back to The Consistency Corner Podcast! Join me as I sit down with Melissa Snow, the founder and CEO of Powerful Women Rising, a vibrant membership community that provides female entrepreneurs with invaluable support and resources for business growth.

In this episode, Melissa opens up about her entrepreneurial journey, shedding light on her transition from dating and relationship coaching to becoming a guru in business strategy and networking. From navigating the discomfort often associated with networking to mastering the art of the perfect introduction at events, Melissa shares her top tips and strategies on how to make networking not only effective, but FUN at the same time!

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How networking can be fun and effective when approached authentically and with the intention of building genuine connections.
  • The importance of being clear and authentic in your introduction, sharing what you do, who you help, and what problems you solve.
  • How to avoid coming across "too salesy" by focusing on getting to know people as humans first, rather than jumping straight into business.
  • The importance of allocating time for networking based on your business goals and capacity.
  • Why consistency in follow-up is essential for building and maintaining relationships in networking.
