✅ Step-by-Step: How to Network at TGIF Events
1. 🎯 Set Your Intention
Before you arrive, ask yourself:
- Are you looking for clients, partners, friends, investors, mentors, or just connections?
- What value can you offer others?
Example: “I want to meet other entrepreneurs and learn about their business models.”
2. 🙌 Connect with the Organiser: BK Han
Make it a priority to greet BK Han, the founder of TGIF.
“Hi BK! I'm [Your Name], excited to be here—this is my first TGIF event.”
BK is well-connected. If you're friendly and clear about who you want to meet, he can introduce you.
“I’m looking to meet creatives in AI marketing—anyone you’d recommend I talk to?”
3. 🔗 Follow TGIF on Key Channels
Stay plugged into the community even after the event:
- ✅ Join the WhatsApp Group
- ✅ Follow TGIF on Eventbrite (for upcoming event invites)
- ✅ RSVP via Luma (for event details and reminders)
- ✅ Join the TGIF LinkedIn Group (for professional updates and networking)
This helps you stay visible and connected long-term.
4. 🤝 Start With a Smile and Simple Introduction
TGIF is casual and friendly. A simple opener works:
"Hi, I’m [Your Name]. What brings you to TGIF today?"
5. 🎤 Prepare a Quick Self-Intro
Keep it short and clear (10–15 seconds):
“I’m Will. I help businesses grow using AI tools for marketing and content creation.”
Skip jargon—speak like a human.
6. 👂 Ask Great Questions
- “What do you do?”
- “How did you get into that?”
- “What are you working on now?”
- “What inspired you to come tonight?”
This helps build real connections.
7. 💡 Give Before You Ask
Offer help, advice, or intros:
“I know someone in your industry—want me to connect you?”
It builds trust instantly.
8. 📱 Exchange Contacts
Say:
“Great chat—can I add you on WhatsApp or LinkedIn?”
Bonus tip: Take a selfie together so they remember you!
9. ✉️ Follow Up Within 24–48 Hours
“Hi [Name], great meeting you at TGIF! Loved our chat about [topic]—let’s keep in touch.”
Optional: Invite them for coffee or a Zoom call.
