presences? Have you evaluated your networking style? Do you have a networking style or are you just trying to make connections? Before you go to that next conference, lecture, seminar. Let’s look at several networking styles.
Types of Networking StyleLet’s find and develop your networking style.
• The Happy Networker: A person (s) who is just happy to be at the event. They don’t have any plans or know how to network, they are just standing around smiling and hoping someone comes up to them and talk. Usually shy and find it hard to just walk up to a person and start speaking.
• The Serial Networker: They want to talk and hand out as many cards as they can. Trying to meet as many people in the room as possible, talking a hundred miles a minute and not making a personal connection.
• The Target Market Networker: A person who knows who they want to talk to and is working on building their personal style. Very personable easy to talk to and knows how to connect to the person they are speaking to.
• The Strategic Networker: They sit back and watch the room, wait for the introductions to see who is in the room, then goes to their target person that they want to connect to, they don’t want to spend a lot of time speaking to everyone, they know what industry they want to go to and who they want to speak to.
• The Seasoned Networker: My parents taught me in church how to go up to speak to people so I am comfortable walking up to people and just speaking. They know how to work the room and is comfortable in social settings. They talk about current events, the latest book they are reading and they know how to connect with the person they are speaking to.
