Connections, Networking Made a Little Easier

At Reach Partners, we value connections.

We strongly believe that everything is possible when you connect the right people with the right ideas and the right resources. We believe that good can happen when we work together.

That said, sometimes making a connection or networking with someone you don’t know is hard.

After all, it can be hard to introduce yourself to someone new. It can be hard to continue a conversation about a topic you know very little about. And, it can be hard – at least for some of us – to maneuver through the dreaded silence that follows the obligatory swapping of biographical information.

Uh, more spinach dip, anyone?

This week (Feb. 2) Reach Partners will be one of the exhibitors at Business After Hours, the region’s largest networking event regularly held by the Chamber of Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo. Hundreds of people mingle with their peers, while enjoying drinks and appetizers.

It’s a fun and worthy event.

It’s also a time when we can celebrate connections – those with people we know and those we have yet to meet.

If you find yourself at Business After Hours, stop by our booth and say hi.

We’ll have high-top tables where you can comfortably take a break from wandering. We’ll even provide some fun networking questions that you can use to get to know others a little better.

Make a new connection; strengthen an existing one. Either way, we hope to see you there!

5 Fun Ice-Breaking Questions

It helps to have a couple of out-of-the-box questions prepared for when you meet someone new. Try these:

  1. What was the first paying job you ever held and how did it help prepare you for the work world?
  2. What advice would you give to a college student interested in your professional field?
  3. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? In what ways does your current job resemble parts of that early ambition?
  4. If you were hosting someone from out-of-town, what local places/attractions would you take them to?
  5. Do you volunteer your time? Why? To what organizations/causes?
