Introducing Yourself
Do you hate networking events? Do they make you feel uneasy and tense? Do you feel confident in your own presentation?
Nothing is more effective than good social skills in influencing clients and colleagues.
The idea of networking frightens many people and makes people feel tense when in truth it can open doors to many new and interesting friendships and clients.
There are many clichés such as “It is not what you know but who you know” or “They just know the people in the right places” but throughout the ages it has been an important skill to learn how to network and build influence across different social and professional groups
Maximizing your own approach and impact is still the best way of winning new business and influencing others. Some believe that it can be replaced through the development of a strong virtual personality. Do not listen for it is not true. It does not matter how many connections one has on LinkedIn or Facebook friends - the reality is that there needs to substance and real contact to a relationship
