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!
