Comments on: A Little Note: Some Good Ways and Some Not So Good Ways to Network http://gilpizano.com/personal-development/networking/note-good-ways-good-ways-network/ A Leader’s “Glass Half-Full” Thoughts for Business and Relationships. Fri, 11 May 2012 05:17:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jacqueline Wales http://gilpizano.com/personal-development/networking/note-good-ways-good-ways-network/comment-page-1/#comment-70 Jacqueline Wales Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:33:34 +0000 http://gilpizano.com/?p=308#comment-70 I always say what goes around comes around, and a little bit of niceness (socially appropriate behavior) goes a long way. It gives me endless pleasure to meet and get to know people, and in my business with The Fearless Factor I teach people how to get comfortable with their fears of reaching out to others. Frequently, they just don't know what to say, so they end up saying nothing, or something inappropriate. We've all been there and done that. But bottom line is, you want to make a good impression and no matter where your networking goes, you should be having a good time.

I try to take notice of everyone I meet, including the people who collect my garbage and paint my house. At least 3 times in my career I was in a position to interview someone (or in one case, someone's son) who had not ever bothered to be interested in me. I had to work hard to not treat them the same. It is a small world. Caring for others ALWAYS is rewarded, sometimes it's just easier to see it.

This article presents an absolutely valuable lesson in networking: Be interested in the other person. When networking, it's not about "you", it's about them, their interests, likes and dislikes. If the other person hates liver, it does you no good to give them a $50 gift certificate to The Liver Shack. You could very well give this "gift" sincerely from the heart. However, they will think you are the best candidate for "Knucklehead of the Year" award -- thus losing what could have been a most valuable contact. Kudos Gil!
