This document provides tips for networking effectively from preparation to follow up. It advises preparing by studying the attendee list, knowing your audience and story. At events, arrive early, be charming to hosts, locate food, and maintain integrity. When talking to others, say "you" not "I", ask questions, seek to understand needs, help others, and look at things from their perspective. Follow up within a day or two via email or note. Maintain enthusiasm and passion while ditching ego and sales pitches. The key takeaways are to know who you don't know, focus on being helpful rather than expectations, and follow through on referrals.
Networking 101 presentation during Open Coffee Cyprus 3rd event "Made in Cyprus" held on October 15th 2012 in Nicosia, Cyprus by Stavriana Kofteros, Diogenes Business Incubator University of Cyprus
everything I needed to know about innovation, I learned by drawing cartoonstomfishburne
I talk about cartooning as a metaphor for innovation. Launching a new product in a crowded marketplace has a lot in common with launching a cartoon. I cover the process of coming up with remarkable ideas and then sharing them with others so that the end result doesn't suffer the "death of a thousand cuts." Includes quotes from Bill Watterson and Matt Groening.
Web 2.0 bred Sales 2.0, which is at last beginning to recognize and even to understand the reality that Buyer 2.0 trumps everything. In short, the buyer is king. To put it even more simply, you can be a whiz at social media, but if you don’t understand the fundamentals of solution selling and value creation you won’t succeed as a social seller.
It is often debated if marketing is an art or a science. The truth is that it's both. Great marketing is a blend of strategy and ideas. In this talk Saul Colt (of Xero.com) will go over both and set you on your way to being successful in finding the first 1000 customers for your small business or startup.

Excerpts from Who Are You? - Wizard AcademyTim Miles
I showed the students *why* most mission and vision statements were so terrible, and also *why* they never needed one but needed something much, much deeper if they wanted to get and keep clients and customers. With the exception of two, the questions I gave them to begin this journey didn’t come from business leaders. Many of them, they’ve heard before, but never for this purpose or this context. Isn’t that what creativity is: Looking at old things in new ways? In a moment, I’m going to share a few of those questions with you, too. What you do with them is entirely up to you. WARNING: It might seem kinda weird to you.

Have you never asked yourself: "How to be successful ?"
The answer seems to be quite difficult, but here are thoughts of Sam Altman, the chairman of Y Combinator.
A quick read:
Compound yourself, Have almost too much self-belief, Learn to think independently, Get good at “sales”, Make it easy to take risks, Focus, Work hard, Be bold, Be willful, Be hard to compete with, Build a network, You get rich by owning things, Be internally driven...

Here is a great share for founders, investors, and people who want to achieve outlier success.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Distinction in a person comes with his ability to take severe blows and staying put in the ring. He may lose a match but never his game. Sure they face let downs and frustration, but they don’t get down on themselves. They fix their problems and mistakes, and move on. And that is what attracts glory to him, and that is the lesson we all need to learn in life from these people.

Use 3FE, The Critical Thinker's Tool for Motivational Empowerment in order to Lock The Job and claim your career, courtesy of BDPA Atlanta President, UNITE Founder, author, speaker, and inventor, D.S. Brown
This presentation helps us to look at professional networking from a more friendly and informal perspective. What works when you're looking for a job? What doesn't work?
The presentation starts off with a set of premises such as 'a friend is more likely to help you than a non-friend when looking at your resume' - a set of facts/assumptions that help drive the argument of corporate pick-up lines forward. We then discuss a set of lines that were used successfully to start a normal conversation, and we look at the common elements that help us start conversation with complete strangers. This can, in essence, be used to create new friendships (note 'friendships' rather than 'professional connections') which lead to new and exciting opportunities.

Editor's Notes
networking is a business activity
BY FAILING TO PREAPRE YOU ARE PREAPARING TO FAILBENJAMIN FRANKLINIdentify and target groups and connections which are relevant to your aims and capabilitiesDon't limit your targeting just to obvious business peopleGeography, Size, SectorSocial (e.g., ethnic, gender, age, seniority, etc)Political or religious, Trade or society, Academic or technicalOther common interest (e.g., social enterprise, environmental, chess)know exactly what you want because you will be asked - very directly - and you will need to give a clear answerplan and monitor your networking activities
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good Samuel Johnson
BettNo one is required to “pay you back.” Reach out with curiosity. Contact interesting and relevant people and see what happens. Find out what makes them interesting and how you can help them — and don’t expect anything in return.er to have 5 people willing to help you out than it is to have 500 that simply know your name.
Check your ego at the door and lose the sense of entitlementYou’ll gain a lot of fans when you stop acting like you should have them.
Know who you don’t know, but want toAnalyze your relationship map. Is there a specific person or type of person you need to meet? Maybe an industry expert? Or the head of procurement at a key prospect in your pipeline?Do your homework. There is no shortage of networking events, and they come in multiple flavors: by industry, specifically for entrepreneurs, women-only. Which networking event is right for you? Do a little background research and see if any of the people you want to meet are speaking at local events. Know your story and your audience. get your talking points together. Don’t be too practiced. Different people will respond to different things. What business are they in? What role do they have? What are they hoping to achieve?Know your ask, and don’t be shy When you hang out with wildly successful people, you will find that they tend to be pretty vocal about they want and they are not afraid to ask for help. Asking for someone’s advice about a topic they know well is a great way to get a conversation started and bonds formed. It’s pretty cool to have your ask turn into a successful person’s thoughtful input on what they would do if they were in your shoes. That person you are talking to becomes engaged in your success.Do what you say you will do. You are done. You went to the event, worked the room because you had a plan, and you executed on that plan. Sure, you were a little nervous before every new encounter, but it got easier as the night progressed. Now, it’s time to act. Take up your new connection’s offer to help. People attend events because they are social opportunities to meet new business connections, share their platform, and learn new things. The rules of dating do not apply. Don’t wait; follow-up promptly. Be persistent while also being respectful of your new connection’s time.
