There is a simple art to networking and the nice news is, ought to you select to put forth a conscience work to improve the way you communicate, networking can and will become second nature to you, it is that simple. A personal touch giant or little makes a giant difference in how others perceive you professionally and personally as well.
I have a mate, Sharon and he seems to think that effective communication and networking is meeting people at a business mixer or dinner, giving them her business card, bragging on her title and then cornering the individuals he's met for the next 30 minutes with suggestions as to how they can assist her in growing and promoting her business.
Perhaps, you have run across a person like Sharon while networking at different events. I am sure you waited with much anticipation to be rescued from her. This sense of discomfort in this situation actually keeps the individual from giving Sharon their full attention.
The issue here lies in Sharon thinking her business is the greatest thing in the world. Sharon ought to feel this way but he ought to even be thoughtful of others' time. However, he usually neglects taking an interest in other peoples' business and personal endeavors.
It is great to be an fascinating person but it is also important to have an interest in other people. The balance when it comes to effective communication is critical. Keep in mind your new contacts will either come towards you or run away from you based on the last experience with you.
Keep in mind, what makes a conversation great. Yes, you guessed it. It is a two-way street.
