Be Prepared
Maintaining focus and preparing efficiently during networking events is made easier if you have a clear goal. This will result in more effective communication with your connections.
Be Specific
There's a purpose to networking events - you're there to grow. Identify who you want to meet or speak with. Start by checking out the exhibitor listings in the showguide!
Talk and Listen
You need to talk to people - but also listen to them. Show you're paying attention by maintaining eye contact while the other person is talking. Make a lasting impression by being genuine and authentic.
Update Your Business Card
It’s absolutely vital that your business card doesn’t contain incorrect or outdated information. This can hinder a person’s ability to contact you – and that means lost business.
5 Follow Up
Keep in touch with your newly formed contact the next day and remind them what your business offers. Following up with new contacts within one to two days is the key to maximising your networking time.
