3 Min Read

Meeting new people is one of the most motivating, beneficial and inspiring actions you can take in life. Having a conversation with someone new can grow your perspective, challenge your ideas and shape the way you think.

It can also open doors for your career or company. In most cases, your professional achievements have been aided by others who have coached you, offered introductions to get you in the door, or inspired you to think in new ways.

Your network is the most important career tool you have, which is why networking app, Shapr, hopes to make meeting likeminded professionals part of your daily routine.

Shapr is a completely free app that facilitates introductions with nearby professionals. The app uses your self-selected #interests, location, and goals to narrow your search, by curating a daily batch of people worth meeting in your neighborhood. Keeping with the goal of networking more mindfully, Shapr intentionally limits the number of new connections to 15 profiles a day. The focus is on quality over quantity, so that users have time to meet in person. The app is growing a devoted following with 2 million professionals already using the platform.

With any networking activity, your goal should be to open a long-term dialogue, not close a sale. When you meet someone new, be inquisitive. Ask how you can help and offer to make an introduction or share a resource. Set a great foundation for a meaningful and long-term relationship.
