Urban Events, Inc.’s Director of Operations Offers Strategies for Making Networking Easy
The leadership team at Urban Events, Inc. knows that networking comes more easily to some people than others. As Mike put it, “Not everyone feels comfortable going up to a stranger and starting a conversation. When you add the fact that a potential business relationship is at stake, networking can become an intimidating proposition. Thankfully, there are some simple ways to make the process a little easier, and I remind my team members of them on a routine basis.”
When preparing to attend an industry conference or related event, Mike encourages his team members not to show up too early for the day’s proceedings. As he explained, “You might think it would be better to get there when not too many people have arrived yet, but that can be a mistake. Although you’ll have a smaller group and perhaps a more intimate conversation, it won’t last. As more people filter in, the natural tendency is to see who they are. That leads to broken dialogue and distracted conversation partners.”
Once they identify someone with whom they want to connect, Mike advises his associates to listen more than they talk. “People enjoy talking about themselves, so it’s a good idea to ask open-ended questions that invite information,” he said. “It’s a great way to learn more about the other person’s company, and it will help you make a positive impression.”
