Keys to Networking Success

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

I get asked all the time, what is the best way to network? I have listed the top 5 things you need to know before you start networking.

 

1. Do Know your purpose. Are you networking to meet potential clients, or for a new job? Maybe you are networking to meet other people in your industry. It is important to know why you are networking and your goals. If you step into a networking event without knowing your purpose you risk not getting anything accomplished.

2. Do Bring business cards! How can you properly network without business cards? You cant!

3. Do Dress this part. This doesn't mean wearing a full suit, it does mean that you should be put together. Business casual is fine, just don't come in sweat pants and expect someone to respect you. Unless of course you make sweat pants and are showing off your new collection.

  1. 4. Don't try to talk to everyone in the room and collect as many business cards as you can. What are you going to do with 50 business cards? No...really what are you going to do with them? Nothing. The purpose of networking is to meet potential people that you can help and may be able to help you. Try to meet 5-10 quality leads, thats it. This is not a popularity contest.

5. Do Follow-up. People make the mistake of getting business cards and letting them sit. Make sure to follow up the same day or the next day. This will remind you of the people you have met, most importantly it will remind the people you met who you are.

 

Remember, networking events should be fun...keep these tips on hand and you will not only enjoy the events but you will meet great new people.

 

 

Happy Networking!
