Add You - Networking Events - Lose the Fear and Gain the Benefits
Instead of getting a second job at your local retail store or pizza place, maybe you should try using freelance work to add to your income while acquiring customers and providing services in your spare time.Twenty years ago, the only way to make a supplemental income was to go find a low-paying second job at night or on the weekends. Then you were always the person with the worst hours and the worst pay. Now there is a much nicer alternative with much better

IntroductionTechnical treatment of different textile materials is laid down blizzard to the world. In this globalization of science and technology, new technologies like fine chemicals, optical fibers, high polymer plastics, resins, temperature-resistant textile fibers, fiber-reinforced composites etc have proved improved alternative in the form of technical textiles and has updated the blueprint of production; consumption and trade in a considerable way.
No, of course you don’t have to go to them. You could stay home or sit in your office. But if you choose to not go, you won’t have the chance to learn something, to help others, to get new ideas, maybe generate some new Clients, and yes, meet new people.
“But Kevin, I don’t do well at these events, I am too self conscious and besides, you know I am shy.”
It is true, some people aren’t as outgoing as others, but I highly doubt that anyone reading this is a hermit. We all like to be around people. As for the self conscious part, well, that is what the rest of this article is about. Read on.
I hear all sorts of excuses for not going to networking events:
“I already know all those people.”
“I have other things to do anyway.”
“Everyone there is in a clique – I won’t have anyone to talk to.”
“I hate those things.”
“I get scared.”
“I don’t know what to wear.”
“I don’t know what to say or talk about.”
That’s right – they are excuses, or they are based on misinformation about what networking is or can be.
You will have the most fun and gain the most from networking opportunities when you stop worrying about yourself, what you are going to say and what you are going to wear. (Here’s a hint, no one really cares what you are wearing, as long as your clothes don’t stand out as too casual or too flashy – get dressed and get over it.)

It seems in the United States of America we have a shortage of accounting managers at most all of the large corporations into this is because of all the new Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, such as enforcing the Sarbanes Oxley Laws. Of course if you are a Senior Accounting Manager in charge of SOX for a large or medium-sized company you will make at least six figures a year. Some of the starting salaries are $150,000. Why so high you ask?, I don’t do well at these events, I am too self conscious and besides, you know I am shy.”

Staying in touch and up-to-date with customers is a very challenging problem for all retailers. For example, when a store advertises an upcoming sale of a product, it must develop a campaign strategy, visually design advertisements, submit advertisements, and wait for a publication to reach newsstands, all before results can be measured. This method is quickly becoming obsolete, as old methods yield to new ones. The inherent delays that come with the use of print me

Most companies vastly underestimate the time commitment necessary to successfully complete a financing. In actuality, a company seeking financing needs to budget between 500 to 1000 work-hours to the capital-raising process, spread out over a 6-9 month time period.The key processes in the capital-raising process include 1) perfecting the business plan, offering memorandum, and other company due diligence materials, 2) developing a comprehensive, targeted pro

Ok, so now you have just signed-up to start your brand new network marketing business so what do you do to find prospective customers and business partners. The most common answer to that question is to first contact people in your warm market and invite them to take a look at your product and/or opportunity. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always work out as you had in mind. When you first joined your network marketing company you thought that it was great, and just

Rephrased by Kevin for networking success – be interested, not interesting.
Once you understand that networking events are about meeting and learning about others and their interests and activities, rather than trying to perform (or remember our ever- important 30 second statement of what we do), many of the excuses above go away.
Be interested – ask questions about people’s business, how they got involved, what sets them apart, what they love about it. Ask about their perfect Client, their interests and their family. As you listen see what connections you can make for them to help them reach their goals.
By being interested we lessen the fear concerns. By being interested we become less self conscious. By being interested we form relationships.
Being interested means remaining interested and following up with people afterwards. If you promised to get them someone’s phone number, the name of that book you are reading, or introduce them to someone, do it right away. You will be seen as a person of your word, but you will reinforce your interest in the other person.
While it may sound paradoxical, by being interested in others, they become more interested in our success and us as well. You will have created a double win – you will gain from the networking experience as much or more than you gave, all because you gave first.
It all starts with being interested. Invest in your success by investing first in others. Try it
