A New Kind of Networking for Recessionary Times
A New Kind of Networking for Recessionary Times
When attending a networking event, first choose the event wisely. Is there a chance to reconnect with treasured colleagues and friends?
Is there a real opportunity to meet new potential prospects with whom you can form meaningful relationships in the days ahead?
If the networking event meets those qualifications, then jump in….but do it in a quality fashion.
Quality Networking
Here are some ‘networking moments’ that stand out for me:
-Being introduced to others by a special person who was willing to share me with everyone she thought I should meet...with kind words and a big smile always.
-Being greeted by an acquaintance that came out from behind her trade booth to hold my both hands and say a genuine 'hello'.
-Being sought out by a newsletter reader well in advance of a conference I was attending in San Diego, California, to arrange a time to meet.
What is it that makes these ‘networking moments’ quality ones?
-The attraction is real.
-There is more listening and sharing going on...and less 'selling'.
-The relationships being built here are cultivated over time.
-Every opportunity to reconnect is a special one.
