Why Networking Isn’t Getting You Paid
from The Influence Economy Podcast with Shayna Davis
Let me just say it: if you’re still relying on networking to land high-level opportunities, you’re playing the wrong game. Because power players? They’re not scrolling LinkedIn looking for lunch dates. They’re scanning for strategic assets. For leaders who signal value before they ever say a word. In this episode of The Influence Economy, I’m pulling back the curtain on how the most successful women I know stopped “working the room” and started owning the room—without ever having to pitch. I’m showing you how to shift from being a name on a name tag… to being the name decision-makers are already discussing behind closed doors. It’s time to ditch the networking hustle and upgrade your brand to do the heavy lifting for you. What You’ll Learn: Why networking doesn’t work if your brand isn’t positioned with power The difference between access and positioning—and why one pays you more What high-level decision-makers are really looking for (hint: it’s not your brunch selfies) How to go from pitch to peer with your brand presence My personal playbook (and client wins) for becoming the obvious choice—not just an option Mentioned Resources: Grab The Influence Economy Playbook: https://influenceeconomyplaybook.com Your Next Steps: Ambitious Women: Take our Influence Growth Assessment and discover your unique influence and how to use it to boost your profitability: https://myinfluencestyle.com Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaynarattlerdavis
