What if networking isn’t working… not because you’re not trying, but because you might be fooling yourself? In this episode, Tiffany and Donna are calling out the most common networking mistakes that quietly break connection before it ever has a chance to grow. From turning conversations into monologues to skipping follow-up or going straight into selling, these are the subtle missteps that can cost you referrals, relationships, and real opportunities. We’re also unpacking the difference between feeling productive and actually building momentum — because being in every room doesn’t mean you’re creating anything meaningful. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode will help you spot what to shift so your networking finally starts working for you.

Build More Powerful Links By:

• Turning conversations into real dialogue instead of talking at people
• Following up quickly and intentionally to keep connections alive
• Focusing on relationships instead of jumping into a sales pitch
• Choosing consistency and depth over spreading yourself too thin
