Hate networking? You’re not alone! Devin Sizemore reveals how to build authentic connections without feeling awkward or salesy. Learn the biggest mistakes, effortless follow-ups, and how to turn conversations into real opportunities. Listen now! 🎧🔥

Building a strong network does not mean you have to pitch yourself. Instead focus on creating real Relationships that lead to meaningful opportunities. But looking at the neck breaking fast-paced world, we often struggle to form connections that actually matter. That’s why I’m excited to welcome Devin Sizemore to the show, an expert in networking and relationship-building who has helped entrepreneurs and business owners refine their approach. In this episode, Devin shares his proven strategies for deepening connections, following up effectively, and positioning yourself as a trusted resource.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in networking is focusing too much on what they want rather than what they can give. Devin explains why an abundance mindset—where you freely share insights and provide value without expecting anything in return—leads to stronger, more authentic relationships. We also discuss why tracking your networking activity is essential, and how measuring the right metrics can help you understand whether your efforts are actually working. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your networking results, Devin’s advice will help you shift your strategy for better outcomes.

Another key takeaway from our discussion is the importance of authenticity. In an era of polished social media personas and carefully curated branding, people are craving real connections. Devin breaks down how to show up as your true self, whether in face-to-face networking events or on platforms like LinkedIn. He also shares why the best social media content isn’t always the most polished—it’s often the raw, behind-the-scenes moments that resonate most. By applying these principles, you’ll learn how to attract the right people and build a network that supports your business Growth.
