Networking tip

After a brief discussion with a newbie to networking, I thought I would share some of my networking tips online.

1. Listen to others!

2. Listen to others (very important)! Get your ears checked before networking.

3. Do not just throw your business card or hand your business card, unless the person ask for it. Make them ask for it.

4. If you are bored, you are probably boring.

5. Remember your 30 or 60 second elevator speech is not a sales pitch or presentation.

6. Listen to others and see how you can help (cannot say this enough, hopefully you got it).

7. Do not expect new business. Approach the event as a way to help the other people you have been listening to.

8. Build quality not quantity relationships.

9. It is a good idea to align yourself with others to help each other. Two, three, four or even five heads are better than one.

Do you have any good tips? Please share below…
