Business Networking is a vital sales tool for professionals and salespeople alike – yet it’s one that many people struggle with it. I’ve seen a lot of great advice given over the years – but very few people touch on what I have found to be the most important skill of all. Most networking advice focuses on what to say – how to position yourself, how to answer the “what do you do?” question, how to get people interested in what you have to offer.

When networking, most people rush far too quickly into talking about themselves or their business. Quite naturally, they’re hugely enthusiastic about their products or services, and they so want the other person to understand. But as a result, the discussion can become far too much of a monologue. Business networking is a long term game. There’s no need to try to cram everything into the first meeting, and try to convince the other person to buy from or refer to you. And in fact, it’s counterproductive to try to do so – it’s far too early in your relationship. Instead: your gol should be to make a good impression. To be someone the other person will want to engage with further. And the best way to do that is to shut up and listen.
