Networking Tips
- Think about it, practice it, have fun!
- Networking is not an event, it is a process in which you never know which contact will take you to your goal.
- Best business is personal business .
- Exchange business cards, ask for and offer referrals.
- Smile and think positively .
- People like to do business with others they like and feel comfortable with.
- Know your goal . Be clear about what you want from each event and interaction.
- Have a message strategy (elevator pitch). When connecting with others, determine their interests and establish a rapport before delivering your branding statement.
- Be effective with your time. Acknowledge your friends and devote more time to meeting new people.
- Hold the sales pitch. Use brief 'elevator pitches.' Do not make long-winded sales presentations.
- Make it a team activity. Invite others and they may help you maximize coverage at an event.
- Get involved. Sponsor the event and/or volunteer to help - you will gain more visibility and new clients!
