Hello there, hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. I got to eat a lot of food with family and friends. Got couple of naps after eating. Most enjoyable time was with family that I don’t get to spend time with since they live in another country.
As I was spending time with family don’t think I wasn’t thinking about business.
No, I didn’t recruit my family members. However, being around a lot of family did remind me of how simple it is to network with people. Whenever you get to be around people it is important that you know the basics of networking. You don’t want to push your idea or business onto them.
5 Basic Commonly Made Mistakes When Networking – By Josh Garcia
1. Too Aggressive: People resist and feel uncomfortable around someone that has a forceful sales approach and is trying hard to sell you on their products or services. By putting someone on the spot with a “buy or else” attitude will only hurt your chances of getting a future business partner. When you approach someone, only give them enough information that piques their interests. Avoid going into your sales pitch, it’s not the right time or place for that. Don’t assume they need your brochure or several of your business cards. Only give that if requested.
2. Talking too much: On occasion, you’ll meet someone that will approach you only to be the one doing all the talking. They don’t stop chatting or even come up for air! They interrupt the other person, cut them off or talk over them and everyone else. You should be talking 20% and listening the other 80% of the time. Be the one to ask questions and engage in a two-way conversation.
3. Come unprepared: showing up late, seem disorganized, don’t have business card, dressed unprofessionally, fumble through their introduction, etc. Set up a checklist of what you need before you leave. First impressions are very important and coming unprepared will have a negative impact. They might assume you’ll arrive late for them, forget something of theirs, and be unreliable for their business.
4. Not paying attention: Some people scan a room looking for a bullseye or target they’re after. They don’t hear what is being said and seem uninterested and distant. They don’t focus on the conversation or the other person. Unfortunately, if you don’t seem interested in them, they won’t be interested in you!
5. Taking phone calls: Although business calls are very important, you shouldn’t take calls while talking with someone. Sending calls to voicemail does a great job at taking messages for you that you can immediately follow up on when you leave. Unless it’s really an emergency, talking on your phone can be perceived as rude and disrespectful.
These are simple networking mistake someone can make if not aware of it. Just be positive and enjoyable to attract people to you.
