How to Make a Powerful Impression at Networking Events (In Just 60 Seconds)

Ever walked into a room with 50+ people at a networking event and thought,

"How do I stand out here?"

This is what it looks like when passion meets canvas.

We’ve all been there — standing with a coffee cup in hand, surrounded by strangers,

hoping to make real connections in under a minute. It can feel overwhelming.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t need hours — you just need the right 60 seconds.

Here’s a 5-step formula that actually works and helps you become unforgettable at networking events:

✅ 1. Say Your Name and Company — Twice

Start and end your introduction with your name and company.

“Hi, I’m Shweta from Pro Orator Academy…” “…Great talking to you! Once again, I’m Shweta from Pro Orator Academy.”

This simple trick makes you more memorable.

✅ 2. Get to the Point — Ditch the Fluff

“I’m a public speaking coach. I help professionals deliver powerful presentations that can change the course of their career.”

Clear. Sharp. Impactful.

✅ 3. Talk About Them, Not Just You

Focus on the value you bring. Help them see how connecting with you benefits them directly.

✅ 4. Be Selective — Quality Over Quantity

You don’t need to talk to everyone. Just the right people. Focus on meaningful connections.

✅ 5. Always Offer a Next Step

End every conversation with something specific:

“I’ll drop you my card — feel free to ping me if you need help with [your niche]."
