Make Them Feel Important

To network yourself most effectively, your goal should not be to get people to think more highly of you. It should be to get them to think more highly of themselves.

As Mary Kay Ash put it, “Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying ‘Make Me Feel Important!’ Never forget this message when working with people.”

The Approachable Person

When You Have The “Referral Bucket”

Members of structured networking groups ask for referrals, right? That’s what networking groups are for.

Each group has its own method for tracking referrals. I like to think of it as a Referral Bucket, one that’s (hopefully) overflowing with referrals.

It’s great to GET referrals…but what about GIVING? If you don’t have any referrals to give, try…

• Sharing an update on a “referral in progress”
• Thanking a fellow member for something
• Sharing an inspiring thought.
• Providing a testimonial for a fellow member

Remember, you will get out of your networking group what you put into it. So, take every opportunity to put something into it.
