Top 7 Networking Tips for Branding Trust

 

Tip #1:  Be prepared before attending networking events, then show up, and interact with others. Be prepared and have an objective in mind.  Give the other person a reason to want to connect with you.

 

Tip #2: Create a memorable first impression.  Pay attention to how you dress.  Watch your body language and the words you use.  Remember to keep a positive inner dialogue.

 

Tip #3:  Work the room.  Don't spend too much time with one person or you'll defeat the purpose of networking.  Know how many people you want to meet, how much time you have, and figure out how much time that means you can realistically spend with each person. 

 

Tip #4: Be known as a resource or connector and give referrals.  If you are willing to give of yourself, others will give back to you.  The more referrals you give, the more referrals you'll get.  It's the easiest way for you to grow your business and your connections.

 

Tip #5: Make networking a way of life.  By effectively networking as little as 10 hours a month, you could double your business growth in only a few short months. 

 

Tip #6: Make it simple for people to find you.  Register your name.com.  It’s vital to stay in front of the people you want to do business with.  Look at the various ways you are promoting your business.  Create an e-zine.  Be seen in the newspaper, on television, and heard on the radio.  Provide a steady flow of your images to your prospects.

 

Tip #7:  Be friendly.  People want to do business with their friends…so be friendly and have a good time doing it. It's that simple.  Maintain a positive attitude.  Compliment people.  Help others and smile often.
