10 tips for successful business networking:
1. Always be genuine. People can generally see through a fake exterior.
2. Keep several interesting conversation topics in the back of your mind for awkward pauses. But don’t use them in the middle of conversation.
3. Be clear about your work and why you do it. This will establish you as an expert in your field and a clear-headed individual.
4. You should always know in what ways others can help you out, so that you have ready answer when they ask you for any help.
5. If you meet someone who can benefit from what you do, always take the initiative to call them and offer help.
6. Remember that people have a tendency to find stories interesting. A good way to make a great 1st impression is to have a funny story at hand of how you are in your current line of work.
7. Given unexpected answers to regular questions like “How are you?” – People expect “Fine, thank you”, but give them something a little more interesting words “TOP OF THE WORLD” etc... This will have a conversation starter + memorable 1st impression.
8. Watch you body language. Don’t keep arm crossed (it shows rigidity in acceptance of ideas).
9. Always carry business card with you. We never know when we need that.
10. Always listen to what people are saying, Don’t just pretend to listen. It’s always a good idea to ask a follow-up question, as it tells the other person you are interested in him/her.
