Networking isn’t small talk.

It’s not business cards.

And it’s definitely not “selling yourself.”

It’s a skill and when done well, it’s more like a high performance sport.

In this episode, Kerrie is joined by Jon Sermon, Head of Partnerships & Alliances at Your Empire Buyers Agents and founder of the BIO networking community, to unpack what real networking actually looks like.

Together, they break down how to move from awkward, transactional conversations to intentional relationship-building that creates referrals, partnerships, and long-term opportunity.

Because in a digital world, your network is your leverage and the VAs who thrive aren’t just doers… they’re the people everyone calls first.

You’ll learn how to:

• Approach networking with confidence and intention

• Choose the right rooms for your stage of business

• Be memorable without being salesy

• Position yourself as a trusted referral partner

• Turn conversations into real opportunities

If you’re ready to stop hiding behind your screen and start building relationships that actually grow your business this episode is your playbook.

🎙️ Hit play and start treating networking like the leadership skill it really is.
