You should only be talking 30% of the time and listening and paying attention to the other party 70% of the time. After all God gave us two ears and one mouth, and not two mouths and one ear. Show the other party you have interest in his opinions and experience.

Another common pitfall is not being aware of their surroundings. When talking to individuals around you, don’t wonder off into a world of your own. Even though you are talking, make sure you are also paying attention towards the reactions and vibes that you are receiving from your listeners. In many cases, even when the other parties are getting bored or showing a lack of interest, it goes unnoticed to the person speaking. It’s like a ball game. Keep your eyes on the ball at all times.  Now you acquire this luck to be a part of Christian shoes users, you just have to choose the fashion Christian louboutin sale you like.

Certain business networking events may only come a few times a year and you need to maximise the opportunity. Do research on possible people you will want to do business with. Gather some background information, possible problems they could be facing, facts, figures and have your pitch ready.

Just simple common sense things such as having a pen and notebook on hand, a clean pressed suit, polished shoes, business cards etc. You’ll be surprised at the number of people that forget the basics.
