Join a community of senior services professionals who believe in building relationships, not rolodexes. Encore is your monthly invitation to step out of transactional networking and into a space of shared mission, empathy, and leadership. We gather on the third Wednesday of each month from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, where connections are made over conversation and curated appetizers—no keynotes, no sales pitches.
How to Network at Encore: The Do’s of Meaningful Connections
At Encore, we believe the best networking happens when people feel heard, seen, and inspired. That’s why we’ve created a three-step approach to spark authentic connection—no selling, no small talk, just stories that matter.
🌱 Plant a Story Seed
Ditch the pitch. Instead, open with a 30-second personal story that reflects why you’re passionate about senior services. It should be real, heartfelt, and a little vulnerable. Then, listen 80% of the time.
“I got into senior care after watching my grandmother flourish in a vibrant community. What’s your story?”
🧩 Be a Connection Alchemist
As conversations unfold, listen for synergy. Notice when someone’s mission could align with someone else’s and make the introduction. You become the bridge—connecting ideas, people, and possibility.
💌 Write a Legacy Letter
Within 24 hours, send a personal follow-up (email or handwritten note) to 3–5 people you connected with. Mention something specific you discussed and propose a small next step—like sharing a resource or grabbing coffee.
