Business Tips - Networking

I’ve thought long and hard about how to start this blog, then as the name of my company goes, I thought “Just Do It!” … get the show on the road. There is no set way … no right way.

The purpose of this blog is to:
a) encourage questions around any area of business that is impacting on you;
b) to brainstorm issues and challenges that we may be having;
c) to share our knowledge;
d) to network with others; and
e) to have some fun :)
Each time I blog, ideally I can share a business tip or 2 or 3 & I’d love you to share yours!

Because I’ve recently come back from Australia with an awesome award in my suitcase (that of ActionCOACH network coach – voted on by my peers)
You can see my picture:

Perhaps the ideal place to start is with networking and the importance of this in your business. It amazing the number of business owners I meet who do not network regularly and do not like to make that first contact with someone. So some:

Networking Tips …
* To make the most of a networking event, spend 75% of your time with people you don’t know;
* Think before hand about how you want to introduce yourself (write it down & practice it!)
* Have a great attitude … & remember to smile!
* Have a plan of where & when … & remember to go where your customers/prospects go; and last but certainly not least …
* Networking works well when you employ the 2-word secret: SHOW UP!

I’d love to hear your positive networking stories and/or your concerns and also what’s impacting on you in this tricky economic environment. Talk to you soon…
