What is it?
A network audit is an evaluation of your professional connections and relationships with peers, supervisors, executives, and influential individuals in your network. It involves identifying relationships with key contacts in order to identify opportunities for leveraging those connections to achieve your goals.
Why should I do it?
The purpose of a network audit is to gain insights into the strength and effectiveness of your network, determine areas where you may need to expand or deepen your connections, and strategically manage your relationships to enhance your career or business prospects.
📝 FYI: This involves developing a well-defined and consistent message, and presence virtually and in person.
“Everyone should build their network before they need it.” ~ Dave Delaney
How do I do it?
Create a comprehensive list of your professional contacts. Include individuals you've worked with in the past, colleagues, clients, mentors, industry peers, and anyone else relevant to your professional network.
Reconnect
Actively engage with your contacts by reaching out and reconnecting. This can be done through various channels, such as email, social media platforms, or phone calls. Share updates on your professional journey, express interest in their endeavors and find opportunities to meet or collaborate.
Strategize
Based on where you want to go in your career and what areas you want to get smart in, leverage your existing contacts to expand your network further. Ask individuals in your network if they can introduce you to other professionals who might be beneficial to connect with. This helps you tap into their network and broaden your opportunities.
