The most common networking mistakes! What do you think they are?

Networking is essential to business success. The more we interact with others, the more we become aware of the opportunity for growth. The networking can happen anywhere and be successful. But we have LinkedIn & Twitter (the online networking) it's much more complicated. It has to be strategic, structured and planned, all without going too much into self-promotion or excessive presentations, the best practice is to make yourself known while discovering the others! how do you do it?

You cannot afford to prejudge people; you simply don’t know who they know or who they can connect you and your business with.

@theankurtyagi This is not wrong at all, very good advice. It also applies to relationships in life as a whole

Asking someone for a favor from the jump. You should first give before you expect to receive

Going in with an urgent goal/objective. IMO, when you have a very specific deadline/goal in mind with the person you're trying to network with, it creates pressure in your mind and it becomes visible in the cold message. Don't have too many immediate expectations from the networking experience. If there's an instant RoI, great. Else, keep them in the loop and something might come up in the future. ✨

"Everyone will network with me" This is a big no no! Be selfish, and network with individuals who can help you in the short, medium and long term

Attending quite a few networking events i can answer this: - Not being a good listener - Not Empathizing - Not Learn a new anything from the person - Not following up to deepen the connect
