Joe D'Andrea's Tips on Business and Careers #128
 
Business
 

There are many benefits to networking but there are a lot of challenges as well.  Here are some of the challenges and how to face them.
 
  • Go to events where you can "learn' something to improve your business.  There are groups out there that address business growth, but they are few in number.
  • Avoid self-promotion, work to build relationships, concentrate on the other person and showing interest.
  • Try to seek shelter from "interrupters".  Many networkers forget their manners.
  • Make appointments with other attendees to meet again.
  • Arrive early, assume the role of greeter.
  • Stay late, that's when all the "action" takes place.
  • Choose networking events wisely.  In any given day, there are dozens of networking events.
  • In this region, there are over a dozen regularly scheduled networking events.  There are four or five Chambers of Commerce and fifteen networking groups with more on the way.
