Are you prepared to go out of your way and give to others?

Well Are you? Some organisations actively promote the philosophy you should give before you receive. Some top Personal ad business coaches weave it into their teachings. I wonder why?

At a lunch club recently a speaker ended his 60 seconds with this line. “I am not going to ask for any contacts today as I believe that it is down to me to prove to you I am worthy of your business, so I will be looking for opportunities for all of you.”

He was as good as his word and found contacts for many members. Now how much business do you think he get? Lots.

During an open networking session someone said "When I meet someone I try and find out as much as I can about them and their business. That allows me to connect them to the contacts and information they need. Recently I met someone from a Marketing firm specializing in helping lawyers win bigger accounts. They were doing some business with a large firm of solicitors in the city. Through my own contacts I was able to put him in touch with a senior partner in the organisation. This in turn helped create a better business connection. Oh and he started getting more business as a result. As a return I was given a personal introduction to another firm which led to business as well."

A great example of how you develop networking through giving. Happy networking
