Business networking can be used to gain more business contacts,
build connections, and generate referrals. Some professionals are better at it than others.
The following professionals offer their business networking tips:
•Krishna De - Why is it that many of us dislike networking?
Often because it conjures up memories of events where people have been eager to handout as many
business cards as possible.
Networking is one of the most important skills in the 21st century to expand your success.
If you dislike networking, think about networking as an opportunity to start building new
friendships with people we have not yet met.

•Dane - Many business networking groups allow you to visit
their event one or two times before you decide whether to join as a member. Take advantage of this
and visit as many business networking events as you can.

•Robert Nimmo - when you go out, don't try to contact everyone; just
the poeple who are "looking"- If you were to sit down at a restaurant and the waitress offered you ketchup
and you didn't want it - they could offer that it was good for you, lot's of people like it, it's red: none
of these facts would make you want it. Now, if you were already looking for ketchup for your fries...Etc.
So, when you go out don't waste your time trying to contact everyone. Don't even look to go out looking
to make a contact, just go out looking to meet new people, if in a normal conversation you strike up with
someone by asking the time, Oh, I like that watch, I've been looking for something like that - where'd you
pick it up, where do you work I work with... are you looking to... if you get a yes less is more if you
get a no, no big deal you just made a friend or had a nice conversation with a sharp person but maybe their
friend is lookin...
