​✅ 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.

​✨ Pro Tips for TGIF Events

  • ​Dress smart but approachable.

  • ​Arrive early and avoid cliques.

  • ​Move around after each chat.

  • ​Tag TGIF and new friends in your IG stories.

  • ​Follow BK Han for insights and updates.
