MORE Key Networking Tips from Author Roy Sheppard
• Leave the shy and nervous you at home that night. ☺ • Make a point of smiling at everyone. Yes. It might freak some people out, but it’ll be fun for you! • In order to help others, you need to know what they want. To find out, ask lots of non- threatening questions about them, share stuff about you too so it’s not an inquisition! • Don’t spray your business cards around like a tomcat! When you meet someone interesting – COLLECT their business card. • Better still, ask if they are part of LinkedIn. If they are, open the LI app on your phone, let them find themselves for you and connect. You instantly have each others contact details. • Spouses have FAR more power and influence than some imagine. Nurture them. Get to know them as people. Look after their interests and they will recognise and reward you by providing access to their decision-making ‘superiors’. • When you meet new people, find out enough about them to have a valid reason to follow up with a call, SMS message, or email. Perhaps you can send them some appropriate information that you promised. • Enjoy yourself.
