What’s your favourite conversation starter?

Hi my name is Bec, who are you looking to connect with today?

Most memorable networking experience you’ve had?

Bumping into someone from more than 15 years ago that I used to catch a bus with as a kid and remembering his face!

When attending an event one should always bring…?

Your smile and a good lipstick!

At a networking event, I’m most likely to be…?

Enjoying a glass of wine, looking for familiar faces – maybe a blast from the past and randomly introducing myself to anyone I haven’t met yet….

They say first impressions count. What’s your tip for leaving a lasting impression?

Always be on time, be sure to listen and when you say goodbye use the person’s name. Saying it out loud will also help you to concrete it to memory so you can remember it next time.
