Become a Fierce Manufacturing Networker - Exit Your Way

If you want to become a fierce manufacturing networker, you have to focus on what matters and let go of what doesn’t. For this episode, our guest had some special tips and tricks before going into the New Year.

In this week’s Manufacturing Ecommerce Success Series, our guest speaker was Valerie Weber. Valerie is the Marketing Manager/ Pricing Specialist at Monofrax. She has held several roles in the same company before this as well.

The conversation of the episode started with Curt introducing Valerie. After this, he asked her about how she got into this field of manufacturing. Answering this, Valerie said that she accidentally got into this field.

According to her, after graduating, there was a time she was unemployed for a year. This is when she was searching for various roles and she stumbled upon this line of work. She said that initially, she joined just for 6 months until she finds another role.

However, 30 years down and she was still a part of this company. Moreover, she said that here she started as a quotation clerk. After this, she observed the role of pricing coordinator, and then she soon became the data entry specialist.

Further into the conversation, Curt asked Valerie about her company’s CEO that saved up to 100 jobs a few years back. Responding to this, she said that she has seen five owners of the company in the time that she has been here.

Moving on, Curt asked Valerie about how she shifted from an introvert to become a fierce manufacturing networker. Responding to this, Valerie said that chat boxes are her favorite here. She said that as on LinkedIn, you can easily put your information in the chatbox and people will contact you if they want to.

According to Valerie, this is the easiest way to do so. Moving on, Curt asked Valerie to share her experience on how to talk to people via LinkedIn and how to get to know others. He also mentioned Dan Bigger as an example of this.

To this, Valerie said that for this, all you have to ask Dan Bigger on LinkedIn about his MFG hour and how to join that chat. Moreover, she said that in this situation, a person like Dan will walk you through the entire process and actually guide you.

Therefore, this is how you can network all the while being an introvert as well. This is how according to Valerie you can become a fierce manufacturing networker.

The conversation ended with Damon and Curt thanking Valerie for her time.
