Here is how to network in 2025: 7 rules to networking success

Hi friend,

Networking in 2025 is less about quantity and more about quality.

Here is what to do for your successful networking squid game:

1. Optimize your profile

Your profile is your first impression. Make sure it’s professional, engaging, and up-to-date.

• Headline: Use keywords that highlight your expertise and what you offer. For example, "Healthcare Project Manager | Empowering Teams & Driving Results in Dynamic Environments."

• About Section: Share your story, skills, and career goals. Highlight achievements and what you’re passionate about.

• Profile Photo and Banner: Use a clear, professional photo and an eye-catching banner aligned with your brand.

2. Personalize connection requests

Avoid generic messages like "I'd like to connect with you." Instead, craft a note that explains why you want to connect.
Example:
Hi [Name], I noticed your post on [specific topic] and found your perspective insightful. As someone interested in [related topic], I’d love to connect and learn from you.

3. Engage with others' content

Comment on posts, share thoughtful insights, and ask questions.

• Prioritize engaging with posts from leaders, peers, or companies in your industry.

• Be genuine and avoid surface-level comments like "Great post!"

4. Use LinkedIn events and Live sessions

Attend virtual webinars or events hosted on LinkedIn.

• Interact in the chat and follow up with attendees or speakers afterward.

• Use the event hashtags to join related discussions.

5. Follow Up with your connections

After connecting, send a message to build rapport. Reference shared interests or mutual goals.
Example:
Hi [Name], thanks for connecting! I enjoyed your recent post about [topic] and look forward to learning more from you. Let me know if there’s anything I can support you with.

6. Be consistent

Networking is not a one-time activity. Dedicate time weekly to engage with your network, post content, and reach out to new people.

7. Provide value before asking for help

Networking is a two-way street. Offer resources, insights, or connections before requesting favors. This builds trust and goodwill.
