Work Your Network

If you have a network with unknown, with which you wasted your time. A consultant friend of mine recently: "I do the networking event at 2.3 weeks - and I'm exhausted." When I asked why they are the networking was important, he replied: "One of my goals is to make the sale of at least 1 case per week." (I note that the admission to 2-3 days ago - and perhaps the week 1 is intelligent and can ordinarepio objective reason is that some  of the effort.) But there is more to the myth of the American greop networks.

 Myth 1: Most of your network, the efficiency of your network.

 Truth 1: There is much more important and in circles of 1-2 the distribution of your assets for many different groups. Height times the width of each bat.

 Then I asked how the networks for his work. He said: "I do not think I have unpatch werkzaamhedet the last six months." His reasons for making the Netz "Any Weet you have a business through networking!" The only sentence, or even worse, you know, in your ears?

 To see if these networks scenario happened to you:

 If you meet someone for 30 seconds. Mumble something about real estate that you agree with them. They ask that you do and are in the insurance sector. Apchinari 10 seconds in vacuum to another, each of you at the top of the stalks celery lack of smthas better to do.

 Myth 2: The cocktails and mini-Wiener circuit in the manner of network success

 Truth 2: The networking with foreign companies to build, which is effective as a bar to marriage. In the words of Dr. Phil, "It is not simply what happens."

 Here is the reason why not satisfy your soul gemellauno networking event for companies:

 1) do not do business with someone after the meeting vPendant few minutes, and it is a bad geprints.
 
 2) companies are in relationships and not "30 seconds", neehoe effective and original.

 3) Most of us have great difficulty to explain what we do, to say nothing of the past to explain and listen to what the prospect needs.

 4) Midi network with foreigners are not direct or specific and, in fact, completely random. For some people, it's just networking as effective as "cold calling", which is the most effective marketing possiblech.

 So I say that the network is a waste of time? Absolutely not. What I mean is that you need to network more intelligent.

 Here are some ideas for your jogging Noggin:

 * Retevec coffee or lunch with the people, one after the other. To learn and their activities. You have a partner in the alliance, or source. But first and foremost goal of a friend. The rest will naturally follow.

 * If I were with foreigners,going 2-3 with a goal at the time of lunch or coffee with people to find nteressante.

 * Ask each customer happy that you (they are all happy, right?) For a single market riferimentoche someone who would be interested in your type of goods or services, then call and their names. ( "Hi, I'm Ginger and Fred, I can call you. Ginger is not very big?") You already have one thing in common - Ginger!

 * Creationr "hit" the exact nature of the companies that want to work with you - perhaps you want to sell the software and those responsible in the medium-small and medium enterprises. Make a list and luogo in your little black book or a PDA. Focus on network and defense policy of the People - in May or other, based on these people.

 * Excludes and more time for non-work: civic, social, religious, leisure, music, Sport ... The list is endless. Relations with the people in vousw group. Perhaps you have a moose and a mediator. A Moose, it seems, wants in a house unMoose others. If so, you have the corner market moose! You are in hand drums. Guess what? A hand-drummer wants to do business with a hand-drummer. Get it?

 * If you are not a "mixer" with a priority goal. For example, your goal could be an answer to three people on myr list, and the recipient of a credit card, making it for breakfast, lunch, coffee or badminton. "A case of the network is the traditionelleerste step of the plan objective world, and not an end in itself.

 Here is a recent idea to shake your senses to work with people you already know, like you, or do business with you.

 Myth 3: Networking is about more people to know what to do.

 Truth 3: networking, these are people who are bereits know the capabilities of the hand, may be useful to another.

 2 / 3 Chiamateal day to connect with Menschenvon past jobs, former clients, or influential people who have shown interest for her in the past.

 We have all the "fans" who grossly underspending.

 Remember to give to friends, colleagues, mentors, and my family for the links you have on hand.

 Then there is the network - but it is sollte your investment of time and the network of subtle energies. If your mother has always said, "not with strangers."





Don't Sell. Tell Your Network Contacts How You Help People

 How often have you not talk about what your company when you meet someone for the first time out of fear than to sell?

 A lot! - I know, because people often tell me that in the seminars.

 Well, if you show me, could be an easier way to make the people who are interested in the vuoleent buy their products stesso lque time to securerzustellen that people who are not interested will not be sold. It is of interest to you?

 OK - but please do not be fooled by the simplicity of this idea. I assure you that, to their networks and their sales.However, while the idea is simple, requires a change in their thinking, and can be much more difficult.

 When you meet someone for the first time, en general, to avoid asking: "What are you doing?" But how do you wiederreagieren?

 LelaMost people in my experience with a job description - "I'm an accountant, a lawyer who sells furniture, website design, start a beauty salon, etc. It is often the end of this conversation.

 But every time you meet someone, it is possible that it could be a potential customer or a potential customer.Unfortunately to recognize that puòr No, because we talk about business, because they are uncomfortable to "sell".

 Of course, there are  other answers that may be - is called the "lift", and I'm not fan.If a todosasistió it with a speed session, the networking you should be using this approach. The elevator is basically a step sales sixty seconds, so named because of the screen, the authors go into an elevator with a producer and the amount of their idea before opening the door to another word.

 Sdemandezn and "What can be done" and a step in the sale of sixty seconds, I spent the last thirty seconds to find a way of escape. I do not like to sell! Not many people in my experience

 You may also use other people to talk about our business, so you do not feel that we are trying to do something to sell. Instead, talk about your product or service - that is, the sale, tell them how to help people.

 I have unterscheidenentesest answers depending on who I'm talking about - atm example, "I specialize in assisting small business customers" or "specializes in women in the economy to become outstanding public speakers." And at the end: "You know, it would be of interest to someone?"

 Well, if you are a small company or a company chevolete know, when I say that? Of course. Often people responde immediately for further information indicating that they help me. If not, then have a potential Kund, for the moment, but at least now I know what to do and this means that they tend to talk to a friend.

 If you are interested, can I follow up - "The mHemos paper and call it a week to arrange a meeting" or "Take miocarta, visit my website www. Speakingandmarketingtips.com - a book élirerónico free (in exchange for the signing of my newsletter) to help us. "
 
 Create your responses and practice vor, as follows:

 I specialize in help ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (describe your target customer, you to do business, or to describe a category, the person to whom you have.)

 For ... ... ...... ... ... .... (How to get help, what to do to solve the problem.)

 ¿CoComment his reaction, it is for the person speaking?

 Easy - the habit of fragenere people what to do first and not let them die a call if you have a job description.Encourage talking about what they are doing and quickly to the problems which they will - especially the problems that come true.

  People like to talk about themselves and to love people who are willing to listen. Then, almost always ask: "What are you doing?"

 Unfortunately for me ...! I specialize in help ... ... ..

 If only five or ten minutes shows an interest in them and what they do, then they say that specialisiert, in solving some of the problems they face - you think you want to know more?

Are You Shooting Yourself In The Foot?

Have you ever been on a network talk to someone, when, during the conversation was that very weak attempt to say this is a good thing? Do you worry that maybe something wrong if you can not find good people, so I do not want the business with you? If you say why you should not worry about it. How annoying song "Do not Worry - Be Happy" for the year, I would like to discuss with you the redenón a quedecir careful with the was against us in einemNetzwerk.

 We facciamoel in business networks for new relationships and the process of monitoring their development over time. As in any relationship, honesty plays a very important role in this development.

 If you meet someone for the first time that we have a good impression. Often, we have our share in the face "so that we do. Ditkan often because of problems that we do not expect. One problem is that when you try to scheint not something that veramenSie do not feel in oni, we are often afraid of being "discovered." This fear makes us uncomfortable in the situation, and even if you can laugh, we're cringing inside.

 Most people, if only those who can not. I argue that not only isere us, sooner or later, what really are slipping, and then with the consequences of identified. This leanuncios to a feeling of mistrust between people.

 Have you ever had ane relationship with the opposite waskeines Geslacht not say anything important from the outset and then had to disclose or even worse, by accident? Resulting in difficult times and after a lot of shuffling Quen apologize.

 I think it is better to take the risk that I provided. So that people know exactly how I feel. The people, for the most part, a way to forgive. What really deseaperdonar. If you make a mistake and etwhat can say that there may be painful, you can ualtijd apology and awarded. But if you say something that is not necessarily the case, and later, his credibility suffered permanent damage.

 If you are in a network environment and ready to relax, in reality, you will notice that it is very fun to be there. If you have a plan in order to really know the people are much more productive in a shorter period. MenEuropean feel comfortable talking with you and for them. In a C file veritàAltre people want the business with you and all around him.

 Genuine enthusiasm is contagious. That they are always more attractive than thrilled when they do. If you're not worried about the errors that seem to be happier. Be happy with the situation will help you to smile more, and the smiley face is a natural attractor.

 Therefore, attending a networking function próximavezs only for themselves. Will their risultatin sensitive and if you better go home. Over time, the difference in more ways than just the profits. You can find more friends Iene not thought possible. When it comes to addressing your friend will remember that they refer friends, true friends.
