How to Network Effectively21 September 2016

WHY WE DON’T

I don’t have time

What are your major interrupters?Other peopleEmailIrresistible internet linksSocial mediaComplianceInterruptionsPhone alertsUnproductivemeetings

Turn off Social Alerts

Sitting is the new smoking

What’s the objectiveWhy networkIt is not clear what the goal issometimes

What we dread about networking I have nothing to say I don’t know the subject matter I don’t know how to go up to people I feel a but stupid I am not a natural conversationalist I am shy I get stuck with the loser every time No one talks to me I find it awkward/ false

What is/ is not networkingWhat is/ is not networking NOT Selling What is it:The ability to create and manage professionalrelationships

Why networkWhy network Information and opportunity Build visibility and relationships Time to listen and reflect Access other peoples knowledge and network

The Biggest problemswith networkingBiggest Concerns People are in the wrong roomand People do not work the room

WHERE TONETWORK

Where to Network

Reticular ActivatorIf you do not know what you are looking for,do not be surprised if you do not find it.

Who are youtheretomeet?Starting Point – who would I like to meet? Make a list of people you want to meet/ whocan help you NOT “Anyone who can help me in business”

HOW TO NETWORK

First stepsPreparing to network Plan your route (when to arrive, who to sitwith etc) Research the group and the dress code Business cards Read newspapers

GoalPreparing to network Choose an objective – make it activity based

The fear Never compare your inside to someone else’s outside- because you will always lose.

Entering the room How to start networking Pause and survey the room Eye contact and smile Maintain Distance Ask Permission – Please may I join you? “Hi I am FIRST NAME – make it easy

.so look for open groups.Ref: Book - The Jelly Effect, Andy Bounds

Picture this

Be interested before you areinteresting

Remember .You are not talking to oneperson. You are potentiallytalking to everyone they know.

Help othersWhat you give out comes back tenfold – if you wantreferrals – start giving them to others.”

Takeaways You will always be busy so accept invites Know who to meet and what you want Have an objective Prepare to have something to say Help others first

Email and online communication miss out on thatall important non verbal communication

“A bad day on the road can bebetter than a good day in theoffice”
