Business Networking Tips

  1. Arrive early / Stay late:  Want to make the most of an event?  Stay late.  Why? Not everyone arrives early or stays late.  Arriving early (if you can) and staying late gives you the opportunity to meet professionals with varying schedules and you have more time to get to know the people you just meet.
  2. Remember, business relationships are a two-way street:  It’s OK to talk about yourself but the best compliment is to ask a lot of questions about the person and their business.
  3. Ask open ended questions and listen:  This highlights ways you can add value and meet needs other professionals might have.  Much like dating, the more questions you ask, the more the person feels a connection with you.
  4. Stand.  Why? Sitting signals that you are having a private conversation, or otherwise busy with your iPhone.  Sitting should be reserved for serious conversations and follow up meetings. Don’t be a flower on the wall.
  5. Say hello. Wear a nametag:  Why? Everyone attends a networking event to meet new people, so don’t be shy!  Say hello, mingle, and introduce yourself. Make sure your nametag is written clearly with your name and business name for others to read.
  6. 50/50 rule: Spend an equal time with people you know and meeting new people.  The more people you meet, the easier it gets when you attend your next event.
  7. Pay it Forward: The best networker is a connector, someone that refers business to other people without thinking about themselves, but thinking about helping others in networking.  This will help you in the long run by getting more business and contacts, plus respect.
  8. Elevator Pitch:  Have several elevator pitches ready for your event.  This way, if someone already heard your last pitch they can hear another one which might help them find you more business and or know more about your business.
  9. Volunteer: The best way to meet everyone at an event is to volunteer at the front sign-in desk. This way you can meet the people you want to talk to and save you time.
  10. Network, network, network:  Try to visit at least one event a week.  The more you network the more business contacts you gain which will result in more business.  If you don’t network, your business won’t grow and no one will know about you and your business.
