What’s in it for ME ?

Have you heard of the radio station, WIIFM ? This is the constant song about What’s In It FOR ME…and many Networkers feel that the ONLY reason they EVER go to an event is to get something OUT OF IT !!!

We have all seen the person who ‘works the room’ by handing out a business card or postcard or flyer to EVERYONE in the room and NEVER asking ONE THING about the other person. The ONLY reason they have attended this Networking event is to get some BUSINESS out of it. They have NO interest in finding out about what anyone else does for a living UNLESS it will offer some type of benefit for THEM and THEIR business.

It’s time to CHANGE the way Networking is done in the WIIFM station. Start thinking of others first; start finding out what YOU can do for THEM; start realizing the making connections and building relationships is the BEST way to Network with other business professionals.

In 2018, Cathy was selected as the Kansas Women Business Advocate of the Year by the Kansas Department of Commerce. With the success of her Kangen Water business, dba Miracles With Water, Cathy also found the time to write 3 books: "Networking On Steroids" published in 2012, "He Hit The Clouds Running...and never looked back" published in 2017 and "Networking On Steroids PQ" published in 2020. From #water to #networking to #grief and beyond, Cathy may be that person YOU would like to have speak to your group, virtually, of course.
