Nashville Unsigned is coming in hot for the next two weeks on Networking skills. We begin with  Networking Secrets: Part 1.

In this episode, we discuss the ins and outs of networking.  It can seem daunting, especially if this whole make-it-on-my-own thing is new to you.  However, it’s really a simpler matter.  Are you supposed to sport-coat up and hunt down people to spark your career?  It’s like, am I supposed to be some kind of salesperson? 

The answer is hell no.  Unless that’s your bag—you do you.  The point is, you don’t have to be anything more than genuine.  Even when large networking events are held, it boils down to one-on-one interaction with other human beings.  That’s not so bad, right?  It’s kind of like starting a new school when you were a kid:  you just have to vibe with people to find new friends.  The business side of things honestly comes secondary.  You have to establish trust first, and that could take time.
The Real Networking Secrets:
We’ve found that throughout every networking event we’ve thrown, it always came down to simply having fun.  This is the fuel behind our brand of community at Nashville Unsigned.  Everyone who dares to embark in this kind of career needs to be surrounded by others with the same fire.  Your network is what you make of it, and there is no shortage of impressive, hard-working people in Nashville.  Thing is, networking happens with every personal interaction.

So, check your local groups and Nashville Unsigned’s event calendar for some upcoming shows and mingle.  This industry is built on a night life, so this is the kind of work that’s actually fun.
