Networking with Intent

In today’s episode – “Networking with Intent” – we dig into why so many advisors feel stuck, uncomfortable, or simply ineffective when it comes to networking, and how a more intentional, strategic approach can completely change the experience.Advisors often walk into events hoping to “meet the right people,” but without a clear objective or plan. Others rely on outdated tactics—collecting business cards, rushing conversations, or defaulting to sales-focused follow‑ups. And for introverted advisors, the pressure to perform in a crowded room can make networking feel draining or inauthentic.The questions we’re answering today include:What does a thoughtful, strategic networking plan actually look like?How can advisors start more natural conversations—both in person and online?What does meaningful, memorable follow‑up really require?Joining us to break this down is Kendall Harris, Director of Strategic Growth at PPI.
