True People Helping People!
Everyone in networking, deep in their heart, enjoys the privilege of "helping others". Especially in "tough time". ITs more valuable than any money! Finally netpreneurs have put together a global program made for the masses that exemplifies the principle; "Its more blessed to give than to receive". . If you are a "true Believer" you need to check this out. It could set your biz "on fire"."Helping Others". Here are 10 ways to catch "On Fire"
1. Effective business networking is the linking together of individuals who, through trust and relationship building, become walking, talking advertisements for one another.
2. Keep in mind that networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships, and seeing how you can help others.
3. Ask yourself what your goals are in participating in networking meetings so that you will pick groups that will help you get what you are looking for. Some meetings are based more on learning, making contacts, and/or volunteering rather than on strictly making business connections.
4. Visit as many groups as possible that spark your interest. Notice the tone and attitude of the group. Do the people sound supportive of one another? Does the leadership appear competent? Many groups will allow you to visit two times before joining.
5. Hold volunteer positions in organizations. This is a great way to stay visible and give back to groups that have helped you.
6. Ask open-ended questions in networking conversations. You've heard it before:
"I KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
This means questions that ask who, what, where, when, and how as opposed to those that can be answered with a simple yes or no. This form of questioning opens up the discussion and shows listeners that you are interested in them.
7. Use "Attraction Marketing". offer something to help others in their present situation without the thought of them join your primary business.
8. Understand "Personality Colors" so that you can address the person's uniqueness
9. Practice leadership skills. People like to follow leaders. Its the most common trait of humanity.
10. Realize the validity of Goethe's borrowed coplet:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in ones favour all manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.""No comments yet
