How to Network for Success

As the month takes off, it’s a great time to re-connect with your clients and network. Statistics say we get 80% of business from 20% of our list of clients, so take advantage of social events to have fun and build your business with effective networking. For those of you in career positions, be sure to make time to connect with your colleagues to boost your productivity!

Here are some tips to build rapport and connect when you’re out networking:

Make Eye Contact & Smile: People respond to your attitude so be sure to smile and make eye contact.
Put Your Smartphone Away: That ‘smartphone-busy’ person impresses no one – show others respect and put your phone away!
Listen More Than You Talk: Asking questions that allow others to feel comfortable talking with you is a key component of effective networking.
Focus on Helping Others Succeed: Helping others to succeed is a powerful driver because it allows you to genuinely offer valuable services. Only offer your services if you truly believe it will help that person achieve their goals.
Follow-Up: Be sure to follow-up with people after a few days with a simple phone call or email to keep the dialogue going and stay connected with your network.
Have Fun: Enjoying a work-life balance is all part of a healthy, happy and successful lifestyle – have fun and prosper!
