| The StoryWhen attending conferences, conventions, or private events, it’s guaranteed that you will talk with many people, especially those sitting at your table. Perhaps you may talk with someone you haven’t met before. Some time ago, while in attendance at an event, I was introduced to an insurance/financial consultant working for a major Fortune 500 company. He was very personable and the conversation was pleasant throughout the evening.We exchanged business cards at the end of the night and parted ways. The next week I received a telephone call from the consultant requesting that I hire his firm to manage my financial portfolio. After I explained to him that I was (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Acknowledging Referrals! What’s in It For You? |
| |
| I grew up in a household where saying thank you was a code of behavior that was absolutely essential. There were simply no exceptions. A thank you note was sent immediately for any gift received or for any kind or decent action.The Art of Saying Thank You!I have to confess that as a young girl I thought it was unnecessary to write a thank you note since I already said thank you when receiving the gift. Yet today, I’m grateful to my parents for instilling in me the art of saying thank you. Why? Because I’ve come to realize that it does just as much for me when I say thank you as it does for the recipient. Not only does saying thank you with sincerity show appreciation (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Alcohol & Events |
| |
| Many people associate alcohol with relaxation and fun, so it is an important ingredient for a successful event. However, it can be a problem and too much alcohol can cause a great deal of trouble.Obviously alcohol and outdoor activities do not mix, particularly motorised and shooting events. All insurers insist on a policy of no alcohol at all before or during any events. It is impossible to police a situation where people are allowed 'one or two' so usually soft drinks and hot drinks are provided during events. When activities have finished then teams typically head off for a barbecue or meal and then drinks.Consumption of alcohol can be a problem on events and it is those (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Are You at Risk of Missing a Networking Opportunity? |
| |
| I have a confession to make. The other day I was stocking up on necessities at my local supermarket when I came face to face with Duggie, who I haven't seen for years. We went through all the - "How are you, what have you been up to, what're you doing now" kind of stuff.
Duggie then says - "Alan, can I have one or two of your business cards in case I need to get in touch and to pass to other people."
Now, I'm always nagging other people about never leaving home without business cards. Don't even take out the garbage without a business card in your pocket. And guess what - I had no business cards to give to Duggie.
He then tells me that he was at a Dinne (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Lesson 69 - When Networking Events Fail |
| |
| The StoryIn a quest to create strategic alliances, coalitions, and partnerships, we don’t usually allow ourselves to imagine our efforts failing. We don’t imagine faltering at building relationships with people, since working with others comes naturally to most people.It’s even harder to imagine that people would decline to help us with our work after they’ve gotten to know our reputations. It is unthinkable to consider that after doing all the right things, attending the right events, having a polished image, keeping lines of communications open, and establishing proper business rapport, that business ventures set up through network could fail.We don’t typi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Secrets to Networking Success |
| |
| Recently I was interviewed for a book on networking. My first response was, "Hey, I don't network. I hate that stuff."In other words, you won't catch me dead shaking hands and passing out business cards at a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting. Nor do I cold call. Nor do I wander around conferences with my hand thrust out saying, "Hi, my name is Nick Usborne." It's just not part of my character.I guess that was my view of "networking".But as I started writing, answering each of the interview questions, I realized that I network as much as the next person. I just go about it a different way.The more I think about it, we all network, one way or another. I (read full article) |
