Networking the Room

Good social skills positively impact well-being, life expectancy

Those who can mingle and make conversation shine in any room

Face-to-face contact requires a personal touch

When you’re in the same room, you have something in common

No one is boring when you discover THEIR area of passion

Use charm = ability to convey caring from your heart and soul

about themselves?"

Networking Your Next Room

Adopt a positive attitude

Dress appropriately

Focus on the benefits of the event

Plan your self-introduction

Have your business cards with you

Bring your Observe, Ask, Reveal

Be likeable

Make eye contact and smile

Being approachable is just as

important as approaching others

comfort more than your own, your

self-consciousness disappears

Employers and Social Media

Employers conduct online searches as part of background checks

Facebook, YouTube, Instagram photos/videos are open to scrutiny

Checking Twitter feeds is part of the process

Search yourself with Google, Bing and Yahoo and see what comes up

Always be savvy when sending emails: They can and will be shared

Personal Touches Last Forever

Fewer and fewer people write thank-you notes

It’s an extremely gracious gesture

It’s both appreciated and memorable

Handwritten notes are a treasure

They set you apart from the crowd

Make a lasting, memorable and positive impression

Personal Touches of Gratitude

If you send a quick email to thank a colleague, send a handwritten card to follow

If a lead turns into something major then your acknowledgment card should accompany a

gift of thanks

Our behaviors distinguish us from the crowd, we become memorable

Always give gifts of gratitude from your heart and soul
