Networking has bad rap, but it doesn't need to!!

When most people think of networking they cringe at the thought of walking into a stuffy room with sharks ready to attack you with their "pitch". Or you envision the old fear of the middle school lunchroom and you see yourself sitting alone in the corner and no one talks to you!

While these feelings are understandable, that isn't the scene at most networking event (cough **especially WCE events** cough)!

We found an amazing article breaking down the myths of networking.

The 4 Myths of Networking Events according to Janna Kefalas are:

• Myth 1 ~ Networking means going to a formal event in a business suit
• Myth 2 ~ Everyone at the event is super confident, accomplished, and judgmental 
• Myth 3 ~ You have to spout off a memorized elevator pitch
• Myth 4 ~ Once you go to the event, you're off the hook

We couldn't agree more that these statements are myths! Networking is actually fun and extremely important for your business so you that you can expand your reach to new clients and customers.

The myths aren't enough though Janna goes on to explain these myths, why they're not true and some tips on how to make networking not only easier, but dare we say...fun!
