Are You a Needy Networker? By Erin Currin When I made the jump from a corporate accountant to an entrepreneur, Networking and a Sales Conversation were the two things that had me perplexed. In my career, I've never had to "Fill my funnel" or "Feed my pipeline." My inbox was always overflowing with things to do! And my paycheck kept coming. So, I never really had to learn. In fact, I was so clueless about the whole process of prospecting and selling that I was one of those people who HATED the idea of a sales conversation or of being one of those poor losers who have to go deal a deck business cards at a morning coffee clutch every week. When those "needy" sales people would darken my door, I experienced a combination of fear and dread. I didn't want to get taken, so I was never really open to what many of them had to say. When I turned the tables on myself and quit my job, I quickly began to experience what it's like to be out there hocking my wares and having to feed my own business in order to pay the bills. I was lost, clueless, and oh so NEEDY! What's your flavor? Being at a breakfast or a happy hour can feel kinda like being at a middle school dance. Everyone is busily buzzing about. Some people know what to do. While so many others don't. At a typical event, a few people will introduce themselves to anyone and everyone, others gather in cliques talking only with people they know, and still others stand off to the side looking fearful and dejected. You can usually tell who a person is by how they approach the room. The Clique The person who hangs out in cliques has a comfortable business going. Maybe they've been coming here forever and everyone who is anyone uses his or her service. They don't feel a need to stretch beyond their normal group because there isn't any NEED. They are usually cordial when someone new is introduced. Sometimes they can seem overconfident or superior. Often, they just don't feel motivated to take the initiative to expand their circle. The Wallflower The people who stand off to the side hoping to get noticed is usually either new or desperate. They don't know anyone and have no clue how to approach people. They don't understand the rules of the game and so they sit off to the side waiting for someone to take pity on them. If someone does speak with them, they usually "throw up" information all over that poor soul and lose any chance of ever doing business. Eventually, they quietly fade into the background and eventually stop coming, either because they give up on the idea of networking or they go bankrupt. The last group, those daredevils who are bouncing from person to person, come in two flavors.       Adland Digest Sponsor Message CAll kinds of Different Marketing Tools Brick Marketing Reveals New Email Marketing Blog, Pinpoint On-Demand Ranks #1 in Best Email Marketing Service by topseos.com for August-2011 Business Class Email Marketing Earns Analyst Praises   Click here to visit Be a sponsor.

They burst into the room with a fist full of business cards and hit anyone who can fog a mirror. They shove a card in your hand and give you a quick snapshot of why it would be so GREAT to do business with them and then quickly depart to the next victim. In the olden days of networking, they rarely asked for your business card, but now, they do just to put you on their email list. They don't care whether or not you are a "fit" for their solution. What difference does THAT make? The Pollinator The second flavor are the bees that pollinate the group. These are true networkers in every sense of the word. They arrive and greet everyone, even the lady at the registration table, with a warm smile and a firm handshake. They work the room, creating conversation with anyone they connect with. But they aren't frivolous. They have an agenda. They know who their prospects are and guide conversations to understand whether the person they are connecting with is a good fit... or not. These savvy connectors recognize that while the person in front of them may not be a good candidate now, he or she may be later or may know someone who is. This busy bee is cultivating relationships that will blossom into leads, sales, and profits for years to come. Take a moment... Think back over your networking experience. Are you cliquish? Perhaps you're a wallflower? Maybe you're a card shark? Or, are you genuinely concerned with contributing to the life and the business of the people you come in contact with? Are you creating a garden that will produce fruit for years to come? Are you getting the training you need get the leads your business needs? People will tell you that networking is essential to a thriving business. The thing they don't tell you is that it's not just about throwing your pitch and waiting for someone in the group to catch it. Networking is an art..
