BUSINESS-TIPS Content

Register for the event and schedule it like a business meeting. Many people either dont sign up for events or sign up for them and then forget to go.

After the person has shared something with you, ask them another question about what they just said.

Identify where you should go. All venues are not right for all people. Do your research and find the venues that make sense for your business.

en receiving a business card from someone, take a moment to write yourself a note on it such as where you met.

When giving a person your card, personalize it by hand writing a note or additional contact information on it.

Determine how often you should be networking in a given month. This will help you narrow down where you should be going.

Never approach someone if they are walking towards the restroom or if they have a phone in their hand.

Do not forget to mingle. Are you going with someone? If so, split up once you get to the event.

Do not approach two people who are talking, as you may be interrupting an important discussion.

A networking event is not a time to see how many business cards you can acquire. It is a time to develop a few relationships that have potential.
