Each member of the network brings their own contacts, leading the network to continue growing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A network brings a lot of advantages. Professional support and shared knowledge are not the only benefits; a network also brings career-building advantages. <strong>Network contacts often make a job search a much simpler process and can even help kick-start a career.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve put together four effective networking tips to help you start networking with PowerPoint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Set goals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Decide what you hope to gain from your contacts and what you hope to achieve through networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Quality over quantity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good network is only as valuable as its members. Don\u2019t keep adding new members for the sake of statistics \u2013 only add new members that are pursuing similar goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Give and take<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get a network started is to find contacts with the same goals and professional interests. Exchange ideas with other members without expecting anything in return. Sooner or later, you too will gain valuable tips and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Keep at it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cultivate your contacts and strengthen the connections you make. You can do this both online and in person.

Be yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you may think you\u2019re playing your role perfectly, most people know if someone is pretending to be someone they aren\u2019t. <strong>Stay true to yourself during your presentation.<\/strong> This is a surefire way of gaining your audience\u2019s confidence and at the same time, laying the foundation for new business contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Your presentation should be interesting and relevant to your audience<\/strong> Think about what information you want to share with your audience and how you want to deliver it. <strong>It&#8217;s important to provide them with facts and information that they\u2019ll find interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/public-speaking-skills-present-confidence\/\">this article<\/a>&nbsp;to learn how to use rhetoric and public speaking techniques to deliver an inspiring presentation. Sharing pertinent information with your audience creates confidence and provides a solid basis for networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Use the right body language<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Even the most interesting information will be less than convincing if it&#8217;s not presented in the right way.<\/strong> Your body language not only communicates confidence and poise, but also supports your content. Needless to say, body language plays a decisive role in successful networking too. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/body-language-ppt-presentations-8-tips-tricks\/\">this article<\/a>, you&#8217;ll learn what body language is all about and how you can use it to sell yourself to your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Stir your audience&#8217;s emotions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meaningful facts and figures are the core of any presentation. But you need to engage your audience on an emotional level, too.<\/strong> Rouse your audience, inspire confidence and motivate them to improve their professional and\/or personal lives. When it comes to networking, you need to connect with potential business partners and customers on a more emotional level. A great way to do this is through storytelling. You\u2019ll find some great tips on storytelling in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/storytelling-in-presentations\/\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Prepare for your presentation &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being nervous is normal. While some people seem to be made for the stage, others find it utterly nerve-wracking to speak in front of an audience. <strong>But with the right preparation, you can control your nerves and present confidently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s always a good idea to rehearse your PowerPoint presentation and prepare a mental checklist. Go over your core messages, make sure your slides and equipment are in order and that you\u2019re ready for any questions from your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Engage your audience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Networking is all about building rapport and trust with others and a presentation is a great way to lay that foundation. <\/strong>Actively involving your audience in your presentation creates a connection and builds excitement. Interacting with your audience will not only increase their interest, but also creates a personal connection between you and them. Ask your audience for personal stories or give them the chance to answer technical questions.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_13111b-70 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_13111b-70 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_13111b-70\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Networking doesn&#8217;t stop \u2013 not even after your presentation!<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/netzwerk4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10251\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_489d62-84 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_489d62-84 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_489d62-84\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Most presenters are happy when the presentation is over, and the stress of presenting behind them. Nevertheless, it&#8217;s still important to continue networking and exchanging ideas with the audience. We&#8217;ve put together 10 tips on how to network after your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Be accessible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t rush out after your presentation. Instead, plan some time to talk to your audience. <\/strong>This gives you the opportunity to receive feedback and discuss your topic with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Set a goal &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have a goal for your presentation, but you need a goal for networking afterwards. For example, aim to collect at least 10 business cards or speaking to 7 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Listen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Being a good listener is key to establishing contacts.<\/strong> Your presentation was the time to put your ideas in the spotlight. Once it\u2019s over, let your audience ask questions and listen attentively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Avoid sales pitches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Making contacts is not about selling yourself.<\/strong> It&#8217;s more important to exchange ideas and have conversations that can be followed up on later. You&#8217;ve already presented your facts and figures; follow-up conversations shouldn&#8217;t signal a second round of your presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Revisit comments and concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anyone has asked questions or made comments during your presentation, make sure to follow up with those people. Address any concerns and try to come to an understanding before the rest of the audience has left the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Get feedback&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seek feedback from your audience and be open to it. Getting face-to-face feedback is a great networking opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. &#8230; with a questionnaire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have time to talk to your audience personally, there are other ways to get their reaction to your presentation. Hand out a questionnaire or send a call-to-action email to get feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Set a time limit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Networking can be pretty exhausting. You have to be patient; you may have to put up with criticism or uncomfortable questions. If this seems a bit daunting, it may help to set a time limit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow at least 15 minutes for questions and comments. Providing your audience with additional information in a handout will allow you to moderate and steer the discussion at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Keep in touch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get someone&#8217;s contact information, reach out to them. <strong>This is how you continue to share ideas and open up potential business opportunities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Learn from mistakes<\/strong> Maybe your presentation didn&#8217;t go perfectly. Take a look at your presentation the day after and make a list of things that did and didn&#8217;t go well. Review this list before your next presentation and learn from any mistakes you may have made.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3ed087-66 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_3ed087-66 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_3ed087-66\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use your presentation for effective networking!<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/geschaftspartner.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10252\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/geschaftspartner.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.presentationload.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/geschaftspartner-450x297.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-css-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_b42b8e-15 .kt-block-spacer{height:20px;}.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_b42b8e-15 .kt-divider{border-top-width:1px;height:1px;border-top-color:#eee;width:100%;border-top-style:solid;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-spacer aligncenter kt-block-spacer-_b42b8e-15\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A presentation gives you the chance to convince an interested audience of your expertise.<\/strong> This lays the foundation to steadily expand your network and build your professional reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about networking or PowerPoint in general, please feel free to contact us at becker@presentationload.de.
