Do research on the person you’re meeting and their organization. At the end of a conversation, ask someone how you can help them. It tends to catch people off guard, but it completely changes the dynamics of the conversation. Start with a great first impression, then give a 30 second snapshot of your professional background leading into the great discussion in which the last question you ask the person you’re talking with would be “how can I help you?” Wrap up in whatever way you want and then follow up both immediately or constantly. Online networking has the great potential to make your business awesome, and it’s just getting better. It will enable you to go beyond your physical limits. Everybody is online right now, take your business into the internet too. "Relationship-building is a cornerstone to networking." —  Nathan PerezGet “The State of Virtual Selling” for free and sign up for Vidyard by clicking on this link: www.vidyard.com/badass Connect with Nathan Perez:Twitter: https://twitter.com/nathanaperez Website: http://nathanaperez.com/ | http://www.20mnm.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathanperez/ CONNECT WITH JENNIE:Twitter: https://twitter.com/jenniebplFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/app/307339332686535/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/Email: [email protected] Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
