It's true! Business networking may not be for you, and that is OK! Unfortunately, business networking events and platforms have increasingly become more like trade shows than networking events. Below are a few mistakes that people make when they think they are networking.
If you. . .
Attend networking events to try and sell your products or services. . . Networking is probably not for you!
Use an "elevator sales pitch." . . Networking is probably not for you!
Only look to attend networking events where there are large groups of people attending... Networking is probably not for you!
Don't attend your favorite events on a regular basis; . . . Networking is probably not for you!
Have been attending more than 3 plus networking events every week for more than a month, . . . Networking is probably not for you!
Only have 1-2-1 meetings with people who could potentially buy your products or services . . . Networking is probably not for you!
Are still asking for referrals from people you don't know, like and trust, . . . Networking is probably not for you!
Expect business networking success to happen quickly. . . . Networking is probably not for you!
If you rely 100% on business networking for business success . . . . Networking is probably not for you!
If these statements sound like you, you may get better results from online paid advertising, TV, trade shows, or other methods.
If you want to network to build, know, like, and trust with a group of people who want to promote you and your business, start devoting your time and efforts to a couple groups that you like. That is our mission at I Refuse 2 Fail. Start attending and discover the difference!
