Whether you are going to a formal networking event, a wedding, a family / social gathering or to church...Where-EVER you GO, THERE YOU ARE, Network!
Rules for Networking (from my book Pecan Pie)
N- Never sell when networking.
E- Earn people's respect. People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.**
T- Talk WITH people, not AT people.
W- Wear a smile!
O- Open body language, non-verbal communication says it all.
R- Resource: be the one for connecting others.
K- Keep focused, always ask "How can I help?"
I- Interested in the other person FIRST, and then YOU will become interesting.
N- "NET- xcitement" - don't make promises you can't keep, avoid the "morning-after dilemma".
G- GO! ...Don't just talk about networking...GO DO IT!
...AND your weekend will never be a "Weak- End".
** John C. Maxwell
