Business Networking For Entrepreneurs - 10 Golden Rules to
Maximise Your Investment
By Mark Buchan
Here are my 10 golden rules for entrepreneurs who, like me, have decided to engage in business to business networking. Provide value: I call this "Pay it Forward" networking after the motion picture of the same name, always seek to provide value to another fellow networker before expecting value back from them. In this way you will be remembered more, for all the right reasons, by people who you have provided value for. People hate to be sold to so avoid trying to sell yourself by saying "I can do that for you" or "my company can do that for you". Providing value at first will mean giving without expecting a return. Do it for the joy of giving rather than the expectation of receiving.
Be precise: You must know exactly what you are looking for by attending a networking event. So precision in this circumstance means: not just knowing your target market but more specifically who in your target market you wish to speak to. Precision also means being precise in your message and thus clearly communicating what you and/or your business does.
Set goals: Whatever field you are involved in there is great value in setting goals for yourself. Make sure you have a monthly goal of how many networking events you wish to attend, how many authentic connections you want to make. Note that I have not said how much business you want to make. Whatever goal you set will be highly dependant on other people and so in my world is an unrealistic goal to set.

Prioritise
your
time:
This is
a must.
Don't
mistake
activity
for
accomplishment
when it
comes to
networking.
A good
thing to
do here
is make
sure
that the
events
you
attend
either
have
people
in your
target
market
or have
people
who have
access
to your
target
market.
Some
people
may
become
addicted
networkers
because
they
love
being
around
people
and that
is nice,
but
ultimately
I treat
networking
as a
marketing
tool
that
must
deliver
results.
If it
doesn't
then its
time to
reprioritise
my
resources.
Measure
your
effectiveness:
You need
to know
how
effective
your
networking
efforts
are so
continuously
monitor
and
measure
your
success.
This can
then
inform
you as
to what
is
working
for you
and what
is not.
Don't be
afraid
to call
it a day
on your
activities
that
don't
pay.
Be
your own
best
advertisement:
Ensure
that you
look and
sound
smart by
making a
good
first
impression.
Always
be
dressed
for
business,
as if
you were
meeting
a
customer.
Avoid
swearing
or
getting
tipsy as
these
behaviours
may
signal a
lack of
self
control.
Show
sincere
interest
in the
other
people:
Rather
than
just
"going
through
the
motions"
become
really
interested
in the
person
you are
speaking
to.
Start to
build a
picture
of them,
not as
your
customer
but a
human
being.
What are
their
dreams,
goals
desires,
where
was
their
last
holiday,
are they
a sports
fan if
so which
one, so
on and
so on.
Seek to
build
meaningful
relationships
that
last for
more
than
just one
meeting.
Nobody
will
"buy
you" in
just one
10
minute
meeting
although
they
will
decide
whether
they
like you
or not.
This is
why the
next
point is
important...

Go for "small yeses": Don't attend a networking event thinking that you will make a sale that day - that would be considered a "big yes". If you do achieve that goal, well done, but that is not the point of the meeting. The first "small yes" is to make as an authentic connection with someone. Once you have achieved that you then go for the next "small yes" which is to have a reason to follow up with them, most preferably this will be by providing them with some value. Completing a series of these baby steps or small yeses is a good way to build a relationship, but it does take time. So manage your own expectations about what you can realistically expect out of the events. Mingle and move on: Everyone in a networking event has, or at least should have, the same goal: making new connections. If you find yourself talking to just one person, or the same person if you attend a regular event ensure you change this behaviour and set a goal for yourself to meet more people. This may sound contrived and may strike you as a little engineered, but that is exactly what you need to do to make the event successful for you.
Use business your cards wisely: I'm a great believer in keeping my business card to myself, I will only hand it out to people who ask for it. If I don't know them I might reserve the right to even give them my card. Often people go to networking events just to collect cards for their database and to my mind that is a big no-no. I never put peoples names on a marketing list unless I have their explicit permission. I will only ask for someone else's business card if I have a reason to get back to them and I will make an obvious notes on their card as for the reason to get back to them i.e. provide them an article I have written or someone else's number who they should speak to - again providing value for them.
