Networking with YG….
So as promised, I’m posting some of the feedback that I received from U guys… Very interesting perspectives…. -!YG
- Seek to build relationships not just contacts! (This one is mine)
- Display good character & you will come across as someone who can turn your passion into a reality
- Be yourself… Be comfortable in your own skin!
- Listen! Learn about other’s interests & desires….
- Use the info that U learned from listening 2 keep in touch (short notes [hand written is great], emails & maybe an occasional phone call
- Extracurricular activities (Hobbies)…. One of my favorite ways 2 meet people. 9 times out of 10… U will be in the room with liked minded folks.
- Be Shameless, but not Shameful… Don’t be afraid 2 talk 2 people. U won’t connect with everyone & thats ok. But make sure that whatever u do.. its with class & dignity.
- Great ways 2 meet people: Parties, Friends of a Friends, & Shopping…
- Read….. Become a Generalist! (This 1 is mine 2) It’s always great 2 have a nice convo with someone who is up on current events (i.e. read My Global Hustle Blog Daily 🙂 )
- Be able 2 sell yourself (depends on the setting), but don’t go overboard…..
- Always be friendly & “kill” people with kindness when U r put in an akward situation
