Top 5 Networking Tips

April 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Women’s Exchange of Washtenaw (WXW) and the Women Lawyer’s Association of Michigan(WLAM) are hosting a networking event on Thursday, April 21st. To help ease the anxiety of networking, listed below are 5 helpful tips.

  1. Be prepared! Bring your business cards, name tag, schedule/calendar, pen and anything else you may need.
  2. Act like the host. Pretend the event is your own party and be there early. Be sure you know where the food/drinks are as well as the bathrooms, so you can help others find them. In other words, be the hostess with the most-ess.
  3. Talk less and listen more! Remember, you are here to create a network of relationships not a commercial for your business or services. Be sure to ask questions and engage in conversation.
  4. Don’t do business at the event! This is the time for you to make connections, set up an appointment to do business after the event when you follow-up.
  5. Be a connector. A good networker is generous, and helps to introduce others. Being known as a connector is very powerful. People want to connect with the connector.
