Building a
good network of relationships is very important to be successful in the
business world, being networking a key activity for it, and putting multiple
opportunities to make big business. Believe us, we talk about a true art and
not of an activity that depends on luck, but of hard and persevering work. But
what determines a networker to be successful? Let's see these seven
instructions:
1. Good
questions: As an astute
journalist, the networker requires to be prepared before attending networking
events. A good strategy is to obtain a list of people who will be attending and
research on social networks their web pages or blogs, the topics that will be
discussed, as well as their interests, philosophy, values that they preach,
in short, everything about them. Do not stop making inquiries so you already
have a prior knowledge of them. Knowing about their plans and projects can put
you ahead of the rest of the attendees. Do it with smart questions will surely
make them well impressed with you.
2.
Add value to your new connections: This is very important because it adds value to the relationship.
Identify how you can help a contact and take action right away. If you can’t
personally help him, maybe you can put him in touch with someone that can do it.
3.
Soak up their stories:
Show interest in your potential connections. Ask successful entrepreneurs to
share their stories with you. This will help you know how they approach their business.
The more you know about them and their way of thinking and acting, the more
opportunities you will have with respect to the rest of the attendees.
4.
Share important facts:
Rather than give speeches about yourself and your company, focus on giving
personal facts that speak how you really are. Possibly that passionate hobby
and the one that you have had great achievements can become a hook that
attracts the attention of others to you.
5.
Report on the event:
Collect the results of your networking meeting as a list or small report as
soon as it is completed. Refer to the topics discussed, the exchanges
established, and the promising relations. This can help you for future meetings
or appointments that you have made.
6.
Commit and meet: Networking
events are not appointments where you go only to receive. No, you have to learn
to give. It doesn’t matter how important or simple is what you have committed, do
what you promised as soon as possible. Fulfilling your word gives a very good
image of you.
7.
Reward your good contacts: Reward
those people who top your list of good networking contacts by giving them a
book, an agenda or a pen, inviting them to a meal and relating them to their
other contacts are habits that will contribute to building a good profile of
you.
