How To Network Effectively In Any Industry: Learn to Be The Right Person At The right Place At The Right Time
Start Thinking Out of the Box – Networking Isn’t all that Bad!
A lot of people hold back on networking because they have this mental inhibition associated with it. They consider that networking is something quite down-market; that it is the worst kind of publicity that can be generated for any commercial venture.
But till the time you harbor this kind of view about networking, you aren’t going to do well with it.
Think over these points.
1. When you are networking, you are reaching out to people. It is right that 8 out of these 10 people may not be interested in what you are trying to say, but there might be 2 who will lend you an interested ear and will actually find that what you are saying may be beneficial to them. These people will think that you are telling them something truly great. When you consider things from their point of view, you are doing very well by reaching out to them through networking.
2. You might also think that networking is something that’s quite brazen and probably even ribald. That is one reason you might not want to associate yourself with it. You might think that you will be interfering and intruding in other people’s lives when you are networking to them. However, today there are so many options where you don’t even need to meet the person you are networking to. Social networking sites have made things much simpler for the introverted networking candidate.
3. This has also removed the pressure from the other thing that might build a reservation about networking in you, and that is the time and effort that you have to put in. Actually speaking, you don’t have to do much when you
are networking today because with the Internet there are so many interesting options open to you.
Yes, it is true that networking has changed a lot from what it was earlier. Today, you can find a person who will be interested to join your network and then market to them. The chances of rejection have become quite low in today’s times.
Summary
Being considerate is an important aspect of any business and it begins showing its benefits right from the networking stage.
Consider the Other Person as Important
You cannot have much headway in whatever niche you are trying to build your network if you do not pay due attention to the human factor. People who you want to join your network are not automatons; they are people of flesh and blood who have their own sentiments and emotions. If you are trying to get them to join your network, you must understand this fact. You must appreciate the fact that they are human. This can have only benefits for your efforts. These people will appreciate that you are treating them well and will not have any qualms in adding themselves to your network.
You can do this in very simple ways. Listen to them. Listen to what they say and then remember it. Suppose they tell you their name and what they do. The next time you meet, you should be able to tell this to them. Yes, this is a way of being considerate. You are giving them importance and everyone likes that.
When you are networking, you are trying to promote your opportunity in some way, so naturally you will be inclined to talk more. But don’t do that. At least not until you have struck a proper rapport with the person. In the beginning it always pays to listen more than you talk. Listen what they say. Even after you have explained your plan, you must listen to every reservation they might have, however much trivial it may sound to you. Only when you put someone completely at ease will they begin trusting you.
And this continues to apply even later on. You have to make sure that you keep listening to them even after they have joined your network. When they know that your reassuring self is always there to guide them, they will not have any qualms in increasing their efforts to bring more people into your team.
Your network marketing opportunity is important. But if you don’t consider other people as important too, you aren’t going to be running a very successful business. You must remember this thumb rule of improving business prospects.
Summary
But it’s not all about listening. You have to talk too. You have to talk a lot.
