2. The success in effective networking
is not “asking” but giving to others.
When you help others and give of
YOURSELF, then you don’t need to
ASK--others will in turn give to you!

3. My philosophy and Tips for
Successful Networking?
• N Names, Nurture YOUR networks
• E Empathy, Energy, Eye Contact
• T Trust, Talk less--listen more
• W Write, Write, Write!
• O Opportunity to learn, give and share
• R Rapport, Reputation and Referrals
• K Knowledge and Kindness
• I Initiative, Interest in Others, Integrity
• N Non-stop networking ALWAYS
• G Give, Give and Give More!
4. Remembering names---Critically important—
How would you feel if someone forgot your name?
Once you are introduced to someone, and while engaging
in conversation, (keep repeating their name; we all love to
hear our name and it will make you remember them! (The
golden number is 7)
The most awkward thing is forgetting someone’s name
after you just met them—then you are unable to introduce
them and leaves a bad impression and YOUR first
impression truly matters!
5. Understanding the “Interpersonal”
Dynamic of networking
When networking it’s always about
“building” and “nurturing” the relationship
with every contact, connection and
personal and business relationship you
have and Giving Back.
So what does that mean and how do I
build my network?
Social Media--Share your opinion
Don’t Be Afraid To Ask for Help
Do Your Homework
Building a network takes TIME!
Timing is Everything!!!!
6. Make
Networking
part of your
Daily Routine
• Networking is a mindset, it is a strategy for life, it is really
24/7; it doesn’t end when you find that “perfect job.”
• Be of the Giving mindset:
• Who can I tweet about that can help me? (giving
first)
• Who can I share an article with that can help others?
• How can I follow up with someone I just met at a
networking event by sharing something with them
that they mentioned
• Demonstrate you listened to what they said, it’s not
about you it’s about something you can share to help
them!
• How can I help someone else network?
• Networking can become part of your DNA:
Deliberate and Authentic
Networking Always
