The BEST Networking Secrets to Grow Your Business

Breadwinning Business Women with Jamila Payne

Let’s be real—networking can feel...awkward. Like, “What do I even say without sounding desperate, pushy, or boring?”

If you’ve ever walked into a networking event, scanned the room, and thought, “Maybe I’ll just hide by the hors d'oeuvres table,” this email is for you.

Here’s the deal: Networking doesn’t have to feel forced or overwhelming. And it’s not about collecting 100 business cards you’ll never use.

It’s about building real connections—the kind that actually move the needle in your business.

Many entrepreneurs struggle with networking because they’re either talking to the wrong people (read: not your ideal clients or collaborators) or don’t have a game plan going in.

You’re juggling visibility fears, time constraints, and let’s face it, wondering if all this schmoozing will even pay off.

That’s why in the latest episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast, I’m breaking down The BEST Networking Secrets to Grow Your Business.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

✨ How to find the RIGHT events (no more wasting time networking with people who can’t afford your services). ✨ How to make connections that count—think clients, collaborators, and referral partners. ✨ The secret to following up without being “salesy” (and why this is where the magic really happens).

It’s like having me in your ear, hyping you up, and giving you the exact steps to turn awkward handshakes into meaningful opportunities.

So, what do you say? Hit play on the episode right here. Your next big breakthrough might just be one introduction away.

Oh, and before I go—I’ve got more good news. I just relaunched my YouTube channel!
