The Importance of Networking in the Aesthetic Industry

Networking can be a very powerful and effective tool in the aesthetic industry. It can be very beneficial to your professional and personal development.

There are many ways that you can network your business, both in-person and online. Networking in the healthcare industry typically looks like attending conferences or joining professional associations. But networking is more than just showing up to these events or meetings. You have to put in the work to make it effective.

Here are some of the benefits of networking:

  • Advance your career
  • Land a new job
  • Learn new things and expand your knowledge
  • Find referral partners
  • Meet other vendors that could help your business like marketing professionals, business attorneys, accountants, etc.

Here are some of our best tips for networking like a pro:

  • Rehearse your “Elevator Pitch”: Your elevator pitch is a brief introduction to you and your aesthetic practice. Make it interesting where upon hearing, people want to learn more about you. Give specifics about what you do, differentiate yourself, describe what makes you special and unique, describe your niche if you have one.
  • Seek out people: If there is someone you really want to meet, seek them out and introduce yourself. Make yourself known and set yourself apart.
  • Follow-ups: Following up with the people you meet is the critical point of networking. It’s important to stay fresh in the minds of the people you meet. You can follow up via email, a hand-written card, or phone call. This is where you can suggest getting together for further connecting to see where you can potentially benefit one another.
  • Cultivate those relationships: Networking isn’t just about finding immediate new clients. It’s important to cultivate and keep the relationships you establish by networking. These people could be referral sources, power partners, or could present opportunities for growth. But they are only effective if you keep these relationships active over time.

Overall, networking can be a very beneficial exercise to help better yourself and your practice. You have to get out there and put effort into it, but it can be rewarding if done properly.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend both a Botulinum Toxin Type A training course and an actual “day in the office” with Jill Jones, RN,CPSN at the Atlanta Training Center. This was an invaluable learning experience and helped me to become a more confident Botulinum Toxin Type A injector and ultimately, grow my cosmetic practice. AAI instructors keep abreast of all the latest techniques and cover both the basics and advanced information on Botulinum Toxin Type A in their course, which would benefit both new and experienced injectors. I would highly recommend attending aesthetic instructional course as well as shadowing at the Atlanta Training Center.they are truly cosmetic artists!

I have taken three courses and have been thoroughly pleased with all of them.  The basic and advanced Botulinum Toxin Type A/ Filler course I attended with Jill not only gave me all of the basics I needed to build a successful injectable practice, but gave me the confidence that I would have a support system in the rare event that I had an additional question after the training course.  The sclerotherapy course with Terri Harper was also very beneficial.  In the two years I have been practicing sclero in my practice I have had to contact Terri two times with a question and she has answered within a matter of minutes and offered additional help in the case of further issues.  I could not be happier with the training and follow up support  I receive with AAI and the talented staff I have met along the way.  I would highly recommend these classes and this fantastic group of professionals to anyone.

My instructor was very much hands-on which was a huge benefit. She answered questions, offered suggestions, and made me feel comfortable injecting my very first model with BoNTA and dermal fillers.
