- "I’ve forgotten how to do face-to-face networking"
- "I’ve managed to survive without networking. I’m going to try and keep surviving without it!"
- "I know I need to network. But I don’t have the skills or confidence any more"
- “Networking? I can’t be bothered!”
I’ve heard these comments a lot recently.
But – whether we like it or not – networking’s important. It helps us grow our profile, our career, our business, our knowledge, our sales…
So let’s remind ourselves of networking best-practices – what to do, what to say, and how to feel confident when we do.
Every networking conversation has four steps – IN / THEM / ME / OUT:
- IN – get into the conversation – see below
- THEM – ask them questions
- ME – talk about yourself
- OUT – get out of the conversation
Over the next four Tuesdays, I’ll explain simple ways to master all four.
And here’s how to do the first – getting IN the conversation.
To achieve this, you only need know two things:
- Who to approach
- What to say
And in this short video, I show you how to do both (the video must be cool – it has Lego in it!)
