Before
·
Always carry business cards with you and make
notes on the cards you collect to jog your memory when following up with a
contact you have met.
·
Remember the focus of networking is to establish
mutual interest and build connections.
·
Paradoxically everybody at a networking event
wants to sell. Yet successful networking requires you to buy as well as sell,
to share information as well as gather it
·
Remember that networking like much in marketing
is not a quick fix but part of a longer term strategy.
·
Try to select those events that will attract
your customers or people they want to get to know.
·
You need time to build trust and cultivate
relationships before a prospect can be converted into a sale.
·
The more networking events you attend the more
likely you will build up relationships and gain visibility.
During
·
Listen to other people’s needs with the aim to
help.
·
Express succinctly what your organisation
offers.
·
Don’t spend too much time with one person.
·
Aim to spend 70% of your time with people you
don not already know.
After
·
Keep up the momentum by following up your
contacts you have made within 24hrs.
·
Tailor each follow up highlighting your conversation at the event
·
If you didn’t get the chance to meet a particular
person why not drop them a line after the event ( remember that they may have
been on the list but did not attend)
