The Greeting
Giving opens up the door to receiving. You have so many opportunities to give every day.
Give kind words. Give a smile. Give appreciation and love. Give compliments. You can give courtesy to other motorists while you are driving. You can give a smile to the car parking attendant. You can give a warm greeting to the newspaper stand person or the person who makes your coffee. You can give by allowing a stranger to go ahead of you into an elevator, and you can give by asking which floor they are going to and pressing the button for them. If someone drops something you can give a helping hand and pick it up for them. You can give warm embraces to those you love. And you can give appreciation and encouragement to everyone.
There are so many opportunities for you to give and thereby open the door to receiving.
May the joy be with you, Rhonda Byrne
The best Net workers build there relationships as an attitude of service by providing what the contacts need, not what the net worker needs it takes time to get to know someone well enough to provide them with some of the best information and opportunity, if your business has items to give away for a taster then do so, but it is not necessary otherwise the prospect will think they have to do the same.
What you can give some one on the first meeting is the confidence you show by building a reputation of trust and service. The one thing not to give is “Advice” because no one wants advice, not even if they appear to be asking for advice. Never offer an invitation to your product pitch seminar, unless they ask! Look for an immediate opportunity to give something:
- A compliment
- Possibility of a free sample (remember this is not a must)
- Information about the meeting or organisation they are in if they are new.
- Introduction to someone they wish to meet that you know
- Invitation to the next meeting or event that suits their goals
- A follow up is a must either by email, phone or a social site
Give them comfort
The quickest way to make a friend is to help someone feel welcome. If you see someone at an event that looks decidedly uncomfortable, introduce yourself and include them in your conversation, it works wonders and can be your first lead and you don't even know it! Feelings of belonging is a basic human need. The fear of not belonging is what keeps many people from networking, be warned. Can you imagine how many people have never retuned because of not being accepted? Offer a friendly hand to bring them in, it helps break the ice thus makes them feel wonderful by being included.
Give & take
Strong relationships are built by giving to others. As you continue to give the long term will offer you a return on investment. Do not expect to get back exactly the same response immediately, as giving to someone else and not expecting a return means you are networking and not bargaining or selling! There is a difference and remember networking is not selling..
Giving and not expecting something back, will ensure you will receive in return what you desire. This will have a knock on effect as others who will do the same, surprisingly enough as this is done you will find that someone else will want to do business with you and you have not even spoken to that person!
| Enjoy the unexpected direction that the fruits of your networking will bring. |
“Continue to Serve” will follow
Everything comes if a man will only wait. I have brought myself by long meditation to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will that will stake even existence for its fulfilment. Benjamin Disraeli
