NETWORKING TIPS

• The initial focus in networking is on helping the prospect or client, not yourself. Effective networking is only a first stage. Marketing and sales opportunities will soon follow.
• The more authentic you are, the more lasting the impression you will make.
• Prepare an “elevator speech”: be able to describe who you are and what you do in the time it takes to complete a ride on an elevator.
• You are always marketing yourself and your organization.
• Effective networking with one person means networking with everyone they know.
