Taking you from “Room” to “Zoom”
What are the benefits of becoming more effective networkers?
- Reinforce existing relationships and build new ones
- Get known by others
- Get others to know what you do
- Increase the knowledge of the marketplace or specialist area of expertise
- Meet key people and decision makers
These benefits take place online or face-to-face but only when we take action
Whilst we still can’t network face-to face we can:
· Arrange ‘virtual coffees’ one-to-one or, better still meet and walk in the fresh air
· Join online networking groups
· Ask insightful and interesting questions
· Listen carefully and respond positively
· Offer to help others and ask people who know, like and trust us to introduce us to their connections
· Have great conversations to reinforce relationships
· Follow up potential business or career opportunities
In summary, apart from the travel, there really isn’t too much difference between ‘Working the Room’ and ‘Working the Zoom’. Will Kintish now runs 'live' online training to support your online networking activity.
