The 7 Rules of Business Networking

13 May 2010 | Filed under: Business Tips

Thanks to Alistair Macdonald of amtv for an enlightening talk this morning at Business Network on the 7 Rules of Business Networking:

  1. Be there
  2. Give to Get
  3. Look good (visual impressions are so important)
  4. Be Interested (be a good listener)
  5. Business cards – look upon them as a tool. They should have enough white space on them for people to make notes on them about you
  6. You are only selling yourself
  7. FUKIT – Follow Up, Keep In Touch

Alistair had some great anecdotes and I’ve now realised that to spice up my round the table presentations at networking meetings, I must tell them that I play bass guitar in a rock band as let’s face it, utility bills can be a bit dull at times!
