7 costly mistakes to avoid when networkingStuart Walton
It is a fact that companies who do not network are missing on a rich stream of new contacts and business that can make them more successful & profitable
It can also help them to understand their customers and the marketplace better whilst testing their message and its effectiveness.
The other fact is that many people who do network make mistakes which can cost them winning new business.
Now we all make mistakes. So what can you look out for and how can you maximize your networking activities by avoiding these costly errors?
Generally speaking, human relationships are reciprocal. According to research, we are fundamentally urged to belong to a community and form connections with others. At least in part, such ties are founded on the knowledge that assistance will be given to any of us who require it.
The implication of that is that we anticipate both providing and receiving assistance. When we are constantly the ones providing, we do not feel as though we are truly contributing, we do not experience any same sense of belonging.
When you only communicate with individuals when you need something from them, they’ll soon stop responding to your messages. Over time, it’s important to support and sustain your relationships. Only networking when you need something is not something you can afford.
You are aware that networking is advantageous for you and that it can lead to a variety of opportunities (business, social, or personal), but it is much easier said than done.
You won’t be able to establish personal or professional relationships or use them to further your career unless you have the proper networking abilities.
In this deck, you’ll learn;
The guide to effective networking
Why you need to network.
The basic rules that governs effective networking.
The proven strategies that add up to having a productive business networking.

IN THIS SUMMARY
Networking events make many people uncomfortable. In Smart Networking, author Liz Lynch confesses to feeling so small and overwhelmed at her first networking event that she only lasted five minutes. But Lynch did not give up, and today she has built two businesses through networking. She writes that people who network do not need to be extroverts or manipulate others, and they do not need to network all the time. Lynch contends that networking is not about doing more but rather about being strategic. What people must do is be themselves and network smart.

further their own ends.

with others and at an event.

others in a clear and confident way. It comes back to building trust.

business entirely for the sake of learning about the other person you
will leave a lasting impression as someone who really cares. Being
genuine with others in all your dealings in business reaps dividends.

important as when you are known and a strong resource others will
remember and turn to you for support and help and this will keep you
