I would confidently say that most of us are knowledgable and competant in our field of work.
I would like to argue that, the only difference between a sucessful person and some not so, is how good he/she is in networking.
In this highly compitative world, how you present yourself, makes the difference.
Yesterday, I attended a Networking session and I would like to share what I learnt there.
1. There should be a GOAL for anything we do. Doing something just because someone else is doing will not be effective. A football game with just passing the ball around is not going to get any crowd in. How many Goals a team takes is what classifies a good team from another.
Similarly, Networking with the right group is very important.
2. Learn to tell what you do instead of telling what you are. I am a teacher, I am an advisor, I am an accountant doesnt tell anything about you. I teach children on Money management, I help clients grow their wealth says a lot more about me than just the title financial advisor.
3. Meet as many people as you can and remember to stay in touch after the meeting. Email, telephone calls are the fastest way to stay in touch.
In any industry, knowing people and to be known is important and hence, Networking is a key to success. I hope these tips are useful to you and do send me your views
