Let people know in the chat who you are , your role or title and business , and wherever you want people to connect with you , be that in a private chat or via LinkedIn . Introducing yourself virtually removes the pressure you might have in person when raising your hand or speaking up . Try not to let it feel overwhelming - instead , think of networking as a way to create conversations , or take part in a discussion . This is your chance to custom - build beneficial relationships . INTRODUCE YOURSELF Screenshots are great tools that allow you to go back and review who else you engaged with during the conversation virtually , others that introduced themselves , or made comments you ’ d like to follow up on . NOTE the chats in the virtual environment do not get saved ! DON'T WASTE A MEETING OR SESSION Embrace opportunities to go deep and wide in every interaction . And be prepared to ask for what you need , be it advice , mentorship , or a connection . FOLLOW UP The key to any networking – or relationship building – is follow up . Review any screenshots that you saved and connect with those individuals on LinkedIn or social media , saying , “ we were in that session together . I ’ d love to connect .” TAKE A PICTURE
