The Lost Art of Connecting

Susan McPherson

When preparing to network, start by identifying your objectives during the Collect phase, which should also involve determining who you wish to connect with and for what reason. To become an effective linker, the Inquire phase is vital, so make an effort to become acquainted with others and make them feel valued through your queries. To ensure the relationship lasts, be sure to TAKE ACTION by keeping in touch and consistently strengthening the bond over time. Ask your acquaintances to introduce you to unfamiliar individuals. Arrange your own networking event by hosting a dinner for a few people you already know. Request each invitee to bring someone you have not met before. If only two guests bring a companion, you will end up with a gathering of five - then extend the same offer to the new arrivals and observe your social circle grow.
