Most of the time, savvy networkers focus on making a good introduction but never a good exit. This is an excellent way to make a good and lasting first impression. It also shows professionalism and good manners.
 Networking name tags can be a useful and connecting tool at events. Whether you create your own or one is offered by the host organization, it can create lots of benefits! First and foremost, it can be an icebreaker. Reading someone's name, title, organization can jumpstart good networking conversations. Just make sure to wear your name tag on the right side of your lapel.
 For those of you introverts who want to take your networking up a notch, consider hosting your own networking event. This can give you an opportunity to broaden your networking base, step out of your comfort zone and make a little $$ in the process. Of course it may help to partner with another savvy networker or event planner so that your event is on point.
Let me know of successful and not-so-successful events you have hosted in the past! |
