Business Building Insights
  • Let everyone in your life circles know what you’re interested in and what you do.
  • Networking is reciprocal. If you don’t recommend other people, why should they recommend you?
  • You can learn so much through face to face interactions that you will never uncover online or through an email.
  • Women are the ultimate hosts. We gather people. We welcome people.
  • Knowing How to Work a Room® is a social skill. Networking is the follow up. We need both to build, manage and create our businesses.
  • Nobody has said, “I hate networking,” who doesn’t love getting a recommendation, a referral or a lead.
  • Before you go to any event, have your introduction prepared.
  • Make sure you look welcoming and approachable by monitoring your voice, facial expressions and body language.
  • When telling people what you do, make sure to explain the benefits of your product or service.
  • Give people something to remember you by.
  • Embrace small talk. People bond when they have in something in common.
  • The three aspects to conversation: Observe. Ask. Reveal.
