Ok, today we are going to talk about questions that you can ask at a networking event but first put in all the H's. Like I told you yesterday, my master will ask "What is your story?" You could use that as well. Amazing what you can find out about someone just by asking a few questions. Here are a few others.
What do you do for a living?
How long have you done that type of work?
What do you enjoy about your work?
What made you choose that type of work?
What problems to you have in your business?
Where else do you network?
What do you do in your spare time?
Do you have a family?
Try networking at restaurants. The wait staff love to talk about themselves and it is a great way to practice your networking skills. By the time you have a short conversation, you will know a lot about that person. Why they are doing what they do. Be sure to focus on them. People love to talk about themselves.
After the event, be sure to send them a email or a personal note and perhaps an article or other information that will help their business. You could also get their business card and tell them you will email them some information.
Ok, nap time! Meow and Purrs!
