Summer 2008 Edition Welcome to the Perspectives Newsletter Relationships make the world go round. This issue of Perspectives shines the summer sun on the power of building referral connections for business owners, career changers, and motivated professionals. People Power
You've heard that two heads are better than one. Imagine what you can accomplish with a team helping you reach your business or career goals. The synergy of colleagues working with you increases your effectiveness and results. A Fresh Idea "Tell me about yourself" is a popular conversation starter at networking mixers and job interviews. A good way to respond is by offering an interesting personal tidbit that relates to your business or professional expertise.
For example, if you share that you've been on 50 cruises, you've opened the door to a conversation about your experience as a travel agent. Your response is like bait on a fishing hook. Cast out your line and see if your conversation partner shows interest before you offer more. Q&A Your Way To Success
The payoff for meeting individually with a new contact can far outweigh the effort involved. Follow these tips before, during and after your meeting to maximize the opportunity. Perspectives is a quarterly newsletter delivering valued information and resources to the Fresh Perspective community. Your feedback is always welcome at news@freshperspectivecoaching.com. |
