Don’t panic. The magic words: Ice Breaker.

If it’s an event where people are expected to meet other people – you’re in good company. You just need to crank up your courage level a little bit!

In this 5 minute video I will show you how.

‘Ice Breaker’ means to find a common topic between two people, add a comment, introduce yourself, shake hands, exchange cards and move on.

Like everything else all you need is a few guidelines and practice. Go for it…try it! You’ll feel like Superman or Wonder Woman once you’ve broken the ice and proved to yourself that “this was easy!”

Now what?

Instead of waiting for something to happen, why not be proactive?

‘Stealth at the door’ means that you are under the radar but you’re getting ready to seize networking opportunities – you’re looking for familiar faces as they walk in the room. This has great benefits for you and for someone that has noticed you; its win-win!

This happens to me all the time.

Check out this video on how you can maximize your networking efforts at your next event. All is required is a bit of planning and spontaneity.

Yikes! What do you do?

Answer: You close your discussion graciously by asking: Who do you know (WDYK)?

I’ve used this angle many times. It’s amazing when you feel that you’re not progressing during a discussion, all of a sudden you ask – WDYK and the conversation takes on a new life of its own and this person can now connect you to someone…like magic!

This short video will give you a few pointers on how to ask WDYK.

So boldly go on your networking trail; try to move the discussion but if you find that you’re heading into a dead end remember, ‘WDYK’ and you could well be on your way to discovering your next prospect. Try it…it can’t hurt!

When we meet people it’s an emotional experience but that can help your learning since when emotions are involved, you learn a lot faster.

Control your emotions, face your fears; get better and improve your networking skills all by asking this new person if it’s OK to have coffee. It’s that easy!

Check out this short video to get you familiar with this Networking tip. You can find the video here:

In order to help you understand Who or What is a ‘Contact’ I couldn’t think of a better source than the bestselling book written by Richard Nelson Bolles on job-hunting skills called “What Color is your Parachute?”. I use Richard’s list in my book!

Check out this one minute video that will make you realize you already have a lot of contacts you didn’t know about till now!

If someone did you a favor during your networking initiatives, be sure to send them  a thank-you note or email that same night or the very next day, without fail. Any thank-you note that arrives a week late seems like just what it is, an afterthought.

Saying thank you closes the loop, sends a confirmation to the person helping you and keeps the door open for your next conversation. Saying thank you is the highest form of courtesy. It speaks about your character and credibility.

Remember that you’ll never get in trouble by thanking people too much; However if you fail to follow up with courtesy, what do you think will be in their mind the next time you call for a lead?

I discovered that Networking also has it set of unique ways of proper conduct and unless you are aware of these, you too could be making the same faux-pas when meeting people.

So to practice our etiquette, here is a short video that illustrates the Etiquette of Networking and if properly executed, this will transform you into a super networker.

If you adopt a sense of altruism with your networking initiatives, you can expect bigger and better things to come your way. Apply the Law of Abundance and let the universe take care of the rest.
