interests, career path, the things they
like/dislike about their job, advice they
may have for new professionals).

Flattery will get you far in this world. Lead with a compliment-

Address him or her by name several times during conversation.
Especially as you part ways.
Its probably time to politely excuse yourself End conversation by offering to help

Just like in school, every student is different
and not every one learns the same way.
We are all unique individuals, with
unique set of experiences.
Everyone has a story. Try to find a connection between your
story and someone elses by engaging in meaningful dialogue.
There is no faster way to build rapport with a new connection
than to ask great questions.
Always Focus On Building A Connection With
People
Share stories.
Connect with people
on a personal level.
Find out..
Common interests
Common passions
Common circle of friends
And
How you can help
them?
they are likely willing to share advice and insight from their experiences.
There is an opportunity to learn something new from every person.
If you genuinely show interest in people...

You should never ask
for a favor without
providing the
relationship
groundwork.
People may be turned off by direct requests for help. It is
best to establish a friendship before you ask help from
connections.
Are you hiring or
know someone?
Most networkers are all about me. You can stand out by genuinely caring about the
other person. Invest in the relationship with time, energy, and resources.
Share Your Expertise
Remember that you have
something special to offer.
Look for opportunities to
speak at trade association
meeting, workshops,
industry conferences,
conventions, and webinars.
Share relevant articles,
trainings, advice, services,
job leads from other
connections youve come
across.
Write a blog.
Bring people together.

Build Credibility When Connecting

You should always know
what you are talking about.
Work hard and stay focused.
Be enthusiastic of what you
do and how you do it.
Focus on the needs of others.
Use your power and influence
to help others.
You should always keep
appointments, return phone
calls in a timely manner,
follow through on promises,
and do not disparage others
for your own benefit.
A great resource on building relationships. Dale Carnegies How to Win
Friends and Influence People.
So how do you build and maintain
connections?
One of the best things you can do is share
information.

How often do you forward articles
or services you found helpful to
your network?
How often to you post the link to
your Facebook page allowing all
your friends to benefit?
Do you post the discussion or
forward the article to your
LinkedIn groups?
Do you share it with your LinkedIn
connections?
Do you Tweet and include the link
so all of those following you can
benefit?
Do you make announcements at
networking meetings about how
you benefited from this article or
service?
Have you passed along YouTube
videos that you found helpful?

Networking is not about
selling yourself
Networking isn't, "Hi, what
can you do for me?" but
rather: "Hi. Let's get to
know each other. What
can I do for you?"
