To Become a Better Networker, Master the Art of Making Good Conversation

Good networking begins with the ability to start and carry on a good conversation.

You won’t get very far in this world if you can’t make eye contact, act confidently, and engage in an intelligent conversation punctuated with give-and-take, back-and-forth dialogue. Think about it: conversation is an essential element in nearly every relationship we have. If you can’ hold a conversation — and be a good listener — then very few will want to network with you. They’ll look for ways ...

Are you a giver or a taker?

How you answer this will determine your success or failure to how effectively you network.

Networking is about one thing: People and your relationships with them. Your success will be based not on what they can do for you, but what you can do for them. If you’re old enough to remember, this kind of sounds presidential, doesn’t it?

You walk into the room (you look fabulous darling), the new ...

The Art of Networking: As Natural as Wisconsin Cheese

Workout. Network. Have Fun.

That’s the Milwaukee Athletic Club’s motto. It’s a place where the local business community goes to break a sweat, take a sauna, and perhaps knock down a salad and an iced tea before heading back to the office. It’s a great place to run into business people of all stripes, which is why I love it.

Find an athletic club near you and use it not just as a place to get ...

Conversation is a Two-Way Street | Networking Tips

The art of good conversation is very much like playing a game of backyard catch. After you utter something, you’re tossing the”ball” of conversation to the other person, meaning it’s his (or her) turn to say something. If you continue holding the ball, however — by giving a long-winded, play-by-play description of your recent vacation to Lake Okoboji in Iowa — then you’re gripping the ball of conversation too long and not allowing your friend or business acquaintance a chance ...

The One Thing Too Many People Fail to Do While Networking

LISTEN

In networking, listening is about hearing more than what someone is saying to you.

In networking, being a good listener is about four important things:

The words a person is speaking.
What they are really saying beyond those words.
The degree to which they believe they are being heard by you.
The ability to get to know people by asking good questions.

Listen to others. Listen to the market place. Listen to your intuition. When ...

How Well Do You Return Phone Calls and Answer E-Mails?

It’s rude not to respond to people who leave a message for you. Ditto with e-mails.

In this day of smartphones, when you’re “accessible” 24/7, keeping up with the blizzard of e-mails and phone calls each day is like shoveling sand at a beach. Never-ending on some days.

But how responsive you are to other people’s attempts to reach you will determine your success at networking. I do my best to ...
