VERY seldom on this website do we post ANYTHING negative, so let’s put a positive spin on SELFISH Networking… Do you bring a guest with you to each Networking event ? If you are able to attend LOTS of Networking groups in your local market, that is wonderful. Do you introduce yourself to the guests and first-timers in the room ? Do you offer each of them a chance to meet the people you know who may be a great fit for their product or service ?
Some people attend Networking events for the purpose of meeting the guests that OTHERS have brought !!! That is what we mean by SELFISH Networking. They are ONLY there to see who the newbies are and to SNATCH THEM UP for their own product or service or to recruit them into THEIR business opportunity. These are the Networkers who NEVER bring guests themselves. Keep an eye out for these folks and steer clear.
A great Networking Group offers TONS of opportunities for everyone in the room to make new connections and build new relationships. Make sure YOUR reputation is that of a true professional rather than a SELFISH Networker !!! www.CathyWeaverKC.com
