Thoughts on Networking:
From Terry Bean at Networked Inc. -
Givers gain
Be Interested, not interesting
Show up early and stay late at face to face meetings
Get their card so you control the follow up
Stay in contact with your network
Build your network before you need your network
Be able to explain what you do in under 30 seconds
My best advice is make connections. Introduce the people that should meet one another. It’s a very powerful thing to have two people talking about you when you are no where near them.
