<\/a>listen to learn … about the speaker and yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n by steven e. sacks<\/i> there is no one right way to effectively network. you can join boards, attend conferences and sign onto various electronic forums, among other ways. no matter how you decide to get yourself \u201cout there,\u201d the critical factor is the approach you take. \u201chow may i help you?\u201d is the positive, proactive way to establish a relationship.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>avoid last-minute deal making<\/a> | five common negotiating mistakes<\/a> | reaching for authenticity in client service<\/a> | deadlines? ha! don\u2019t make me laugh<\/a> | organizational change starts and ends with people<\/a> | busyness isn\u2019t the same as productivity<\/a> you as the networker are seeking to build a relationship. if the other person or group benefits from your effort, think of it as an investment for the future. if you are looking for an immediate quid pro quo, it will become transparent to the other party. when you offer assistance, be authentic and sincere in your words and actions. follow through on your promises. \u201cnetworking has been cited as the number one unwritten rule of success in business. who you know really impacts what you know.\u201d \u2013 sallie krawcheck<\/p><\/blockquote>\n the other person speaking is the subject and you are the object \u2013 the receiver of the information. practice being in the moment and be like former president clinton, who treated each person as if he or she were the most important person at that time in the room. show this by the questions you ask, your eye contact and your body language.<\/p>\n as dale carnegie said, \u201cto be interesting, be interested.\u201d<\/p>\n while there is a lot written about this topic, i suggest reading the book, \u201cnetwork like a fox: a targeted approach to building successful business relationships, in person and online\u201d by nancy fox. nancy is the founder and president of the business fox. she has consulted to and coached hundreds of professionals and business owners in business development, networking and marketing.<\/p>\n it is an easy read, well organized and most important, is relevant to professionals in any industry or organization who want to establish or polish their approach to building relationships. because at the end of the day, irrespective of what your strategic plan is, it all comes down to people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
