Getting Results with Dr. Jean

E55: Networking Manners

Broadcast on:
17 Jun 2024

Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® discusses the importance of networking etiquette. Dr. Jean shares an experience where she was not given an opportunity to speak with two interested contacts because another attendee interrupted to promote an unrelated service. She emphasizes that networking events are for making connections, not just promoting oneself. Attendees should mind their manners by listening attentively, allowing space for others to converse without interrupting, and considering why others are there before promoting one's own services. Dr. Jean encourages following up on referrals privately after events and being mindful not to miss opportunities by failing to follow networking best practices. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Be Attentive: Read social cues when networking to understand contexts and opportunities.
  • Stay Focused: Allow space for others to converse without interrupting potential connections.
  • Be Considerate: Consider why others are attending before promoting your own services.
  • Don't Interrupt: Redirect conversations politely if referrals are needed rather than interrupting.
  • Follow Up: Follow up after events privately if referrals are to be provided.
