Now that we’re in the swing of 2017, how far have you gotten on those New Year’s resolutions? Perhaps you’ve vowed to exercise more, call your best friend at least once a week, and check Twitter less. Need some more ideas? Here's an easy resolution to add to your list: meet new people that enrich your life, both personally and professionally. This year, make it your goal to meet someone new every week.
The world is full of interesting and likeminded people who can give you (and your career!) that extra oomf, but finding them can be difficult. The good news is there’s no need to shout your professional accomplishments from the hills or shill a tidal wave of business cards. Enter Shapr: it’s an app that will revolutionize the way you meet and connect with inspiring professionals, no uncomfortable small talk required.
It’s well-known that meeting people who make your everyday life more rewarding or more examined isn't so easy. Sure, you can meet all sorts of fascinating folks at networking events, but sometimes it’s a little difficult to get beyond a glimpse and a nametag. And what if you don’t even know the type of people you’re in search of? Think of Shapr like a personally customized magnet—attracting only the people you'd want and need to know. And you can connect from anywhere! (So there's no need to drag yourself out of the house and into the unknown.)
Each day, Shapr tailors a list of 10 relevant professionals in your area, based on an algorithm that accounts for your personal and professional interests, job title and location. Your best matches are delivered straight to your phone where you can swipe easily and anonymously in less than a minute. And, of course, if there's a match, you can start planning that coffee meetup right away. (It's like a certain dating app but with a lot less rejection.)
Ready to adopt a healthier and more rewarding networking habit? Go on—get out there and meet the right people waiting to meet you. To learn more, download Shapr on your phone for free (iPhone and Android), and start connecting today.
