Networking @ Ivey

Ivey Network:

•18,000 alumni
•1 in 4 alumni are in a senior management position
•Global
•Loyal

How to Start the Conversation:

•Re-assess your goals and how this individual might help
•Research their background, their industry, the firm and, of course, their role
•Email to set up meeting time – short, concise and clear on what your goals are with the meeting
•Be prompt with “meeting” time
•Structure some solid questions around industry, firm, role that will help you feel confident, comfortable and get you real information (probing is expected)
