networking is ..... @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
what can events like do for you and your business? @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
creating leads and opportunities • finding suppliers and partners • getting business and market knowledge • ‘thinking time’ • building credibility • raising your profile • differentiating yourself • starting relationships • generating ideas • maximising relationships • learning and developing • making friends • having some fun! @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
what’s your approach to networking @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
‘ostriches’.... • no apparent interest or presence in their networks • don’t recognise or evaluate the potential benefits • head in the sand • hope it goes away @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
‘meerkats’.... • not doing much networking, certainly not proactively • pop their head up a little, but quickly go back • nervous / cautious • no purposeful activity @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
‘magpies’.... • basic presence in some networks • no attempt to develop a focused approach • like the ‘new and shiny’ • don’t ‘see things through’ @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
‘monkeys’.... • more committed to networking • strong presence in some networks, • focus is on activity, not purpose • need to stand still and be more strategic @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
the ‘kings’ of the networking jungle! • a recognised ‘presence’ in their chosen networks • not just attending, but engaging • positively contribute and influence things ‘lions’.... @andyhanselman @jilltywhite
