Networking Groups
网络中的网络
I have been trying to think about how I can talk about this subject and address it in a way that would be fair and balanced without injecting too much personal opinion and have decided to first talk about the types of groups and then, later on, be more specific.
重要的是要记住,你的偏好可能与我的不一致,但我们每个人在人际网络中都有一个共同的目标。
更多业务和可能更多的朋友。
因此,让我们首先分析各种类型的组。
There are many different types of groups, but it is easier to categorise them by the meeting format rather than using individual categories like chambers of commerce or women's groups.
Most groups fall under one of four main categories. These are Social Networking, Business Networking, Leads Groups and Networking with a Program.
1.社交网络
社交网络是我们日常生活的一部分,无论我们是否意识到它。每次参加任何涉及一群人的功能,我们都会在社会层面上网。无论我们是否参加慈善活动,将参加朋友家的派对,去宗教服务,或参加有组织的社交网络活动,我们在网络环境中。
在大多数情况下,这些群体的大部分参与与业务无关。但是,总有机会满足可能是或认识潜在客户的人。当您参加这些类型的职能时,建议您在口袋中有一些名片,以防您遇到为其业务提供网络的别人,但请记住,商业网络不是该功能的主要目的,因此很随意在您对其他人的方式接近您的业务的方式。
Social Networking Tip:
永远不要假设这些职能的任何个人都不是您的业务的良好前景。你会在那里找到很多机会。很高兴记住人们有很多原因,可能不想谈论业务。
2商业网络
信不信由你,只有极少数团体或组织仅仅是“商业网络团体”。为了我们讨论的目的,这一类别是为没有演讲者或节目的团体保留的。商业网络的一个例子类似于商会的下班后会议。在商业网络中,你只需与其他商业伙伴聚在一起谈论你的业务。
I find it much better to have a lot of time to talk to people about my business rather than have a brief period to talk and then have to sit down and listen to a program. This format enables you to really get to know people in the allotted amount of time. In some cases, you can even do business with someone who you have met for the first time.
This format allows you to get to know people very well and sometimes helps to jump-start the relationship without having to meet for lunch or coffee at a later time. The only thing that makes this format difficult is if you are shy. For the shy individual, it is sometimes not easy to just walk into a room and start talking to people they do not know.
Business Networking Tip:
构建您在几个不同的会议上看到的人的核心联系人组。这将在构建网络时通过这些人提供广泛的联系基础。总是了解房间里的“最受欢迎的人”。他们经常会知道大多数其他人,可以帮助快速扩展网络。
3. Leads Groups
领导小组非常有条理。这是商业网络中最大的部分。Lead组有几种格式,它们的方式略有不同。在大多数情况下,领导小组需要围坐在一张大桌子旁。通常,每个行业的潜在客户群仅限一人。因此,如果你想成为一个潜在客户小组的一部分,这个小组已经有了你的一个行业,你不能加入这个小组,直到有一个空缺为你创造的人离开。
通常,领导群体的规模约为5至20人。在大多数领导群体中,您将获得一定的时间,以取决于您的群体的2至五分钟的业务,具体取决于该组的大小。这是一个敬业的时间,没有其他人说话,你轮流。
领导团体对害羞的人或那些在没有结构的会议上有困难的人有益。如果您是一个良好的领导集团的成员,成员正在积极寻求其他成员的推荐。如果您认为每个人都有大约200百人的个人网络,这会导致大量的业务。这并不意味着它是满足或不良格式的最佳格式,而是如果您更喜欢结构,它对您有好处。
Leads团体通常在早上或午餐时见面。
Leads Groups Tip:
一定要让潜在客户小组的成员来帮助你。当他们遇到需要你的产品或服务的人时,给他们一些可以代表你的工具。确保每个人都明白你在做什么,你最有前途的人是谁。
4. Networking with a Program
很多行业协会和商会康门ce follow this format. The meeting usually starts with open networking for a period of 15 minutes to an hour. It is then followed by a presentation by a guest speaker or a current member.
In this environment, you will not have much time to really get to know people unless you always attend the meetings. In most cases, these meetings are best for initial contact followed up by meeting prospects for coffee or lunch. It is advised that you use a system of taking notes and qualifying prospects for later follow-up.
Generally, these meetings end after the presentation and people linger for 15 to 30 minutes before clearing the room.
Networking with a Program Tip:
了解组织的领导。在大多数情况下,他们会知道很多有关成员,因为他们的工作方式上升到领导作用。这些人可能是最有帮助时,寻求潜在客户或转介。
摘要
As I said at the beginning of this article, your feelings on these definitions may vary from mine. It is important when seeking meetings to attend or groups to join that you have defined goals on what you are trying to accomplish. Be specific when setting these goals.
记住业务并不总是进入第一次联系或会议。保持最佳结果。尝试使用您参加的团体类型和会议的组合平衡您的网络。每个都有自己的独特优势,可以帮助您在商业界提供圆满的存在。
