How can you overcome shyness or fear of networking and become more confident?

Before you are doing anything in your priffession, the first step is always important to identify your goals. What you want from your proffession. Just start with some techniques like SMART, SWOT, Brain storming etc. Ways to identify your goals. Once you have your written goals it's automatically boost your confidence and avoid your time wasting habbit or miss understanding. Just sit with your self and identify the measure goal you want to achieve in your life, and write down with the deadline and start taking action on it. But the goals is very important is like a map for your journey.

?? As an introvert, I used to opt out of networking events at the last minute, or show up and hide in a corner. Both options included an extended pre-event meltdown. So what has changed? I have decided to make my primary goal at any networking event to make every person I meet feel comfortable, confident and valuable. Especially the ones who are looking lost. My secondary goal is to have fun and learn as much as I can. Is making important connections still one of my networking goals? Nope. That's not a goal. It is a by-product of those two goals. With this fresh perspective, I can enjoy networking events — and benefit from them —?stress-free. Could those goals make networking easy, enjoyable and profitable for you?

?? Tiene que ser interesante para uno y luego para los demás. Ampliar red y construir autoridad con autenticidad son objetivos que se siembran diariamente para lograrlo hay que: ? Identificar cuales son mis intereses ? Contar un historia sobre lo que compartis ? Definir a quien le estas contando esa historia ? Generar constancia con la frecuencia que se pueda.

Take the time to research! Find out: - What is this event about and who will be there - Identify your intention, your "why" - Connect with relevant people BEFORE the event - Write them a message, say you'd like to chat - Arrive with clear intention for the night and talk to the people you already "know" This helps especially well if you're an introvert. You don't need to stretch yourself thin. You can prepare in advance and trust me, your evening will be so much fun. And remember, look nice, smell nice and be professional and kind. :)

?? They say you only have one chance to make a first impression. You make that impression before opening your mouth! So when you introduce yourself, you want the most powerful possible edge. Here it is... Do. Not. Go. First. Why? When you introduce yourself to others at a networking event first, you do not yet know who they are, what they do or what they are looking for. You risk irrelevance. Also, if you invite them to introduce themselves first, you show that you are interested and a good listener. For most people, that makes you a fantastic conversationalist right off the bat! Once you know who they are and what they want, you can introduce yourself in the light of their interests. This makes each introduction more valuable.

Here is the second step to expend your network. Practice about your pitch. The more you practice the higher chance you close a deal. You have to start practice the things : - practice how to introduce yourself - practice how to introduce your product -practice how to control the body geasture. - select your words it is short & simple. - just ask your self if someone tell you about the same thing are you intersted or not. And introduction it is very important to make a solid intro for yourself. It's help you build people's trust easily.

Before attending a very important networking dinner, a few days before I started preparing my pitch. I can tell you it's more important than you think. So I wrote a script for myself about who I am, what it is I do and why am I here, also a little fun fact about me or a joke to ease the vibe. I then reached out to a public speaking coach and arranged one simple session to improve my pitch. (You can do this with your friend, partner) So I recognized what should be improved, did that and changed my script. Then I wrote it down in my phone notes to have it at all times. I read it a couple of times. (but not too much) Went to the networking event and smashed it.

If you want to communicate effectively find the simmilar habbits or interst in your clinets, prospects. It's help you to ask more open handed question to know more about your clients. Don't show your profit in the conversation just be genuine and polite with your prospect, and ask the genuine question from him. Listen actively, because the more you listen actively you are showing you are actually intersted in the conversation. So find the common interst in your prospect and use your communication skills to know more about your prospect.

My secret is asking more questions than answering. If you did your due-diligence, First Tip: - Prepare specific questions based on what you found. Or just topics to indulge in. When at the event, Second Tip: - Ask questions that needs more than yes/no answers. - Ask questions that are outside of the "norm" - Listen and find conversational threads to pull on For example: "So what is your burning desire in life?" "I would love to create this art hub, where people come together and freely do what they please, possibly in Paris." "Oh, why Paris?" And the conversation naturally evolves. Talking only business is boring. Add a little spice to your conversations.

If you are a networker so you work is never be over, because you have to follow up with your clients regularly. The more you follow up the more you make a strong relationship with them. Using the smart ways of follow ups like sending email, wish them a festival, invite them in your events, ask them to the previews experience feedback etc. Things you can follow to do feedbacks. Always remember you have to send only informative mail, messages to your customers or clients. Don't make a pressure on them to buy your next serias or range. Just remind them once you are launching new products and tell them the benifits.

We all know those business cards laying around after an event. Connect with them straight via LinkedIn. Write down a little note on each person in your notes, so after the event you have them on LinkedIn and you have a personal fact that you heard or noticed when talking to them. This is EXTRA special. They will appreciate your attention to detail and feel much closer already.

Even if you're an introvert, you can network like a boss. I've overcame my fear of going up to people and introducing myself with the due-diligence and preparation. And this knowledge comes from: - Just going out and doing it - Listening and learning from others - Listening to podcasts about networking - Attending public speaking courses Ultimately, you need to find what feels the most comfortable for you, what kind of events, what kind of people, what kind of conversations. And be brave, ask weird questions.

If you want to be better in communication, sales, marketing, presentation and many more skills, you need to grow or challenge youself. Because challenge makes you stronger. The the new things daily, read books, attend events, join meetings, consult with an expert, attend the tranings. And give yourself new goals and challenge to achieve that before the deadline. Challenges is a sign you are getting better day by day, you are working on yourself, and it's simple shows in your personaility.
