Ten Tips For Good Networking

Are you just learning about how to Network? If so, here are 10 essential tips to help you get started.

Networking is not about selling your business or products to everyone you meet. It's about making connections with other business owners like yourself.


Don't come on too strong the first time you meet new people.


Share about yourself, not just your business. "People do business with people they trust."


Ask people what they do and invite them to share about themselves and their business.


Listen more than you talk and ask questions that will get people talking - not just a yes or now answer.


Make mental notes on things people have that might be useful to yourself or others, or if you are online doing some
networking, take notes.

Find common ground with the person you're getting to know. "People like to do business with people who are just like them."


If asked what you do don't give someone a long sales pitch. Keep it short and informative. If they want to know more they will ask for additional information.


Always tell the person you were talking with it was a pleasure meeting/speaking to them and ask if its okay to add them
to your contact list.


Ask for their business card - That way you can be sure that there will be follow up. You can exchange cards if you wish but always get their card or if online, get their email address and online contact information. Ask for permission to contact them again.

Learning how to properly network will bring you new contacts, new leads, future customers/clients and word of mouth referrals.

Thanks for the great tips Shelly...

Lead generation is a win-win for both the consumer and supplier. A buyer is able to request information from multiple businesses which offers the product or service that they are looking for and the seller is given the chance to pitch their product or service to someone who has given them permission.

Thanks for those tips.

Nowadays home business is an additional way to fight the recession. Rather than continuously waiting for a job interview call, it is better to make use of time and energy navigating on different business opportunities that could assist you in making money with least savings.

Thanks for those useful tips.

Also since Internet marketing can be much less expensive than traditional marketing and it can reach a huge, precisely targeted audience. Because there are no geographic barriers in internet marketing, it is truly possible to do business worldwide and to sell anything from anywhere, even from the comfort of your own home.

I see you are into business marketing...however there is a difference between marketing and networking.
