Probably because &#8220;networking events,&#8221; as many people have experienced them, push the limits of human discomfort. It&#8217;s worse online; the phoniness and self-aggrandizing witnessed on LinkedIn begs the question: what&#8217;s a &#8220;connection&#8221; really worth?<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-paragraph-1-font-size\" style=\"\">A lot, depending on the circumstances. This article will walk through three types of common encounters and how to approach them in a way that doesn&#8217;t stifle natural conversation but opens the door to potential business growth. That includes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list\">\n<li>How to tastefully guide conversations with prospective clients in non-business settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to initiate COI-focused business development conversations with other wealth-adjacent services (attorneys, accountants, consultants, etc.)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to build your financial advisor network in a way that opens the door to referrals, marketing collaboration, M&amp;A activity, and succession planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-210fd980 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"border-radius:0px;border-top-color:#000000;border-top-width:2px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--800);margin:var(--wp--preset--spacing--1200) 0;--columns:2\" data-columns=\"2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-headline-4-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:900\" id=\"networking-with-prospective-clients-in-person\">Networking with prospective clients in person<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \" style=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-paragraph-1-font-size\" style=\"letter-spacing:-1px\">It&#8217;s natural to talk about work. When meeting someone for the first time, a simple, &#8220;what do you do?&#8221; lets you demonstrate a genuine interest in how this person spends their time. Ask follow up questions, probe into areas where there&#8217;s personal overlap. At some point, you will likely get a similar question: &#8220;What about you? What do you do for work?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-paragraph-1-font-size\" style=\"\">This is your opportunity to keep it simple and signal a few things&mdash;<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list wp-block-list\">\n<li>Personal happiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Client happiness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business success<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A complete disinterest in selling anything<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-paragraph-1-font-size\" style=\"\">Here&#8217;s an example of a few sentences that accomplish those objectives:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"imc2a0an-independent-financial-advisor-i-specialize-in-working-with-pre-retirees-who-want-to-minimize-taxes-during-retirement-been-at-it-for-about-17-yearse2809414-of-which-have-been-fantasti\">&#8220;I&#8217;m&nbsp;an independent financial advisor. I specialize in working with pre-retirees who want to minimize taxes during retirement. Been at it for about 17 years&mdash;14 of which have been fantastic.

If the person takes your lead and asks some follow up questions, take the opportunity to talk passionately about your clients, tell a few stories (but make sure you have a point&hellip; and get to it), and ask them similar questions when you&#8217;re done answering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-paragraph-1-font-size\" style=\"letter-spacing:-1px\">When it&#8217;s time to step away, give them your business card and part ways. Don&#8217;t turn a quality interaction into a pitch by trying to &#8220;close the deal&#8221;. You&#8217;ve made a personal connection, built some rapport, and exchanged information.
