Business Etiquette and Networking

I attend a number of networking events because I enjoy meeting people; I always learn something....not just about how to grow my etiquette business. Last week I learned about Isagenix, an exciting way to change the way you can manage your health and weight. I learned about an interesting online business which allows users to send "handwritten" personal or business greeting cards with the click of a mouse. I also learn what works and does not work in networking. For example, some attendees take advantage of the opportunity to introduce themselves and their business by monopolizing others' time and some interrupt a conversation just to hand over their own business card. When you want to make the most of networking events, consider how you can help the others in attendance. Don't monopolize the conversation or interrupt with your business pitch; ask how you can help others reach their goals. You will be surprised at the rewards.
