The Power of Networking 🌐 One of the greatest career accelerators is building meaningful connections. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned professional, the relationships you create can open doors to opportunities you may not have seen coming. Here’s what I’ve learned: Listen more than you speak: Everyone has a story and experience that can teach you something. Add value: Offer your help or insight before seeking something in return. Follow up: A simple “It was great meeting you” message can go a long way in maintaining connections. Let’s keep growing and learning from each other. 🤝 Karen Melonie Gould #Networking #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #BuildingConnections

One way to know you got good advice from a mentor: you don’t get a good night’s sleep afterwards. Had a great dinner with Paul Mabray last week. His best sales advice: lean on your close circle for warm sales leads. “If you’re going to be at holiday parties, you need to ask for these intros yesterday.” Your investors are in this with you. It’s ok to ask them to help sell—it’s their company too. So I woke up at 2:30am, not really able to sleep all that well knowing I need those warm intros, you know, yesterday. Corporate holiday events—especially knowing the sustainability aspect—are a logical good fit. So I asked. More to come… #wine #holidayparties #itsoktoask P.S. And if you’ve got a holiday party that our wine would enjoy attending, please let me know.
