Have you ever been asked a question at a networking event and suddenly felt like you had to prove you belonged in the room?
For newer business owners, introverts, or anyone who struggles with imposter syndrome, even common networking questions like “What sets you apart?” or “How long have you been in business?” can feel more like a quiz than the beginning of a conversation.
In this episode of Business Networking and Referrals, Faithann shares a different way to approach those moments.
Instead of searching for the technically perfect answer, you'll learn how to make the star of your answer something you feel comfortable and proud to say.
Faithann shares two common networking questions that can trigger imposter syndrome and shows you how to answer them in a way that creates a better conversation.
You'll learn:
- Why “What sets you apart?” can be especially difficult for newer business owners
- How to answer by talking about what you love about working with your clients
- How client feedback can help you talk confidently about the results you create
- The “fast forward button” approach to describing what your clients gain from working with you
- A better way to answer “How long have you been in business?” without making the number of months or years the star
- How experienced networkers can ask better questions that make conversations easier for everyone
- Why you can walk into a networking room as a tourist instead of feeling like you're the one being judged
You don't have to tap dance your way through every networking conversation with the perfect answer.
You get to decide what the star of your answer will be.
