Business Networking for FUN & Profit!
Is it a struggle for you to go to Networking Events?
Well, you’re not the only one! It seems that the thought of attending yet another meeting creates anxiety in the hearts of even the most experienced of business entrepreneurs. The reason is that they’ve never been taught how to network – we’re just told to “go network”. This together with the fact that almost everyone attending Networking Oregon Meetings are trying especially hard to sell you a product or a service. It seems that they think Networking in Oregon is Selling and their mantra is: Some will! Some won’t! Some wait! So What?!? I’ll just keep on asking and I’m asking you next… Here are my best networking tips to help take the Fear Factor out of Networking..
- Before you register, set a clearly defined intention and strategy for the networking event. Your intention could be to connect with two excellent contacts that may be my ideal business Links. My strategy is to ask the host to show me around.
- Give out your business cards rarely. Most people at business events play the “I got the most business cards therefore, I WIN” game – but they rarely follow-up or they will start spamming your inbox. Use your intuition to fulfill your intention. TIP: For networking success, control your business cards.
- Have your Elevator Speech congruent with your intention allowing the attendees to connect your intended contacts.
- Be the one to introduce others. Your leading by example plants seeds of reciprocity.
- Listen between the lines, everything that you need is revealed in what other people are saying both directly and indirectly.
- Focus on your intention being fulfilled. This allows you to avoid the sales jerks.
When you do the math you’ll find that only about 1% of Oregon Business Community attends Networking Oregon Events. But, Business Networking works because the 1% that do attend Networking Events in Oregon can get you referrals to with the 99% that never show up! That is if you are trained to use a Networking Program and have pre-determined intentions and strategies.
Tip: Make Networking Oregon Mixers fun with a specific networking system. I recommend The Link System® whose 4-Link Questions help you stay true to your intention and have each Oregon Networking Event you attend be profitable.
