Take on the 10 Core Behaviors of
the ‘Beyond Ordinary’ Networkers
course.
by Martin Brossman
Want to
enrich your career or business with a deeper level
of commitment, service & prosperity in the year
ahead? Begin with these proven networking
strategies…
1.
Come from contribution
Ask yourself “how can I help great people meet and
connect with other great people?” Look for those
who are sincere and confident in their abilities,
just as you are.
2.
Build lasting relationships
Investing time creates payoffs that last. Nurture
both new and old relationships. Applaud them when
they succeed and console them when they don’t.
3. Seek out connections
Make a committed effort to think about others when
meeting new people. Carry a palm pilot or business
card book that lists all the ‘good people.’Remember,
if we don’t invest time in referring others, why
should someone refer us?
4. Pursue feedback
Your name goes with your referrals.
It lets the recipient know how well-tested this
referral is, in an honest and positive way. Everyone
would like to have feedback from the person or
’business they have referred.
5. Cultivate clarity
Explain what you do in simple terms. Make every
effort to understand the other person’s business or
product so that you can make an effective referral.
6. Develop allies
Build relationships with people in comp– lementary
fields, creating opportunity for ongoing referrals
back & forth.
7. Represent a vibrant life
Look for ways to enhance your passion for life.
Ideas to start you thinking: volunteer with the
Chamber, take a course, get in evolved with a
charity you are touch by, enjoy a hobby, or assist
with a leads group. Often something that involves
some level of mastery is more fulfilling.
8. See yourself helping
Every encounter can be a networking opportunity, so
be aware of creating a positive impression wherever
you are.
9. Strive for quality
At networking events get to know a few people well.
Learn specifics. Have a sincere desire to share
interests.
10. Honor your intention
Integrity is the core of success. Do what you say
you are going to do. Only sell products or services
worthy of your word. Let your best self shine for a
prosperous new year!
