gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:39): text only.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:39): ok, just wanted to make sure how I was doing the presentation today
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:39): I am able to archive the chats this way
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:39): no problem, thanks!
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:39): You must have run back, Carol. You made it back early.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:40): yes, I really did! Lucky for me the bus was on time for a change! LOL!
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:40): We'll give it til 1/4 after to allow others to arrive.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:40): lololol
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:40): ok, fine by me - you tell me when to do what!

gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:41): or rather typer. lolol
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:41): Lisa, have you met Carol yet?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:41): :)
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:41): Thanks, I am pleased to be here as well!
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:41): or just in the chat last week?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:41): yes
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:42): Welcome to Networking 101. As this is our first speaker presentation in our new room and of 2008 I felt it appropriate for the first topic to be Networking Basics.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:43): Therefore I have asked Carol Deckert, Networking Consultant/Coach to share some insights with us today.
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:43): great
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:43): Carol, welcome to the WINning Sisters Networking 101.
(2008/01/16 - 12:44): gedwards360 joined the room
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:44): We are glad to have you here.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:44): Welcome Gedwards360
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:44): hi y'all...thanks for having me...
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:45): I will be archiving this chat for those who couldn't make it.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:45): Carol, the floor is yours. Welcome.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:45): Thanks Ginger and thanks to all of you for being here today.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:46): Since we are talking about basics, would you all do me a favor and post your actual first and last name, as well as your preferred method of being contacted, email, web, blog, or phone so we can all get to know one another better.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:46): Gina Edwards
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:46): Gina Edwards email: weteamtogether@yahoo.com
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:47): Lisa Guarino, lisa@lisasart.com
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:47): Carol Deckert, carol@runlancaster.com
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:48): ok, great! One of the first things we should all remember in networking is to make sure we introduce ourselves, but more importantly, find out the person's name that we are talking to - repeat it back to them to make sure you have the pronunciation correct and ask for spelling if you don't understand it.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:48): Everyone likes to be recognized and listened to - so let them know you are doing both!
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:49): BTW, if there are any questions as we go along, feel free to post and we will stop and make sure we answer them for you.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:49): You know, networking does NOT mean "meeting" people. It DOES mean becoming the type of person that other people want to meet.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:50): Have you heard that before? What are your thoughts on that statement?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:50): Ginger Marks
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:50): lol
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:50): need point
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:50): neat
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:51): If you are an interesting person, have something interesting to talk about, people will WANT to find you and meet you.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:51): new to me
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:51): i've heard of building rapport...but i like the idea of becoming a type of person people want to meet
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:51): The same goes for becoming a leader in your field, an expert so to speak.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:51): Yes, building rapport is the first step in networking.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:51): You also know that networking is all about the other person don't you?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 12:52): y
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:52): y
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:52): y
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:52): Forger the What's In It For Me (WIIFM) and concentrate on the What's In It For You (WIIFY) - it's all about Helping One Another with absolutely no thoughts of receiving anything in return.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:53): easier said than done
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:53): When you meet someone, this is the same for online as well as offline - ask questions, try to find some common ground that you can relate with them.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:53): how do you turn off the 'me' button?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:54): Yes, Ginger it is easier said than done, however, with practice it becomes second nature.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:54): do we find out what's in it for them by questioning?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:54): You turn off the "me" button by simply thinking about the other person. Most people fail at networking because they go with the intention of selling their products/services.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:55): Yes, ask questions like what do you do? How long have you done that? Oh, that's interesting, what happened that you got into that field?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:55): Naturally the conversation will progress and if you LISTEN more than TALK, you will begin to hear if the person needs assistance with anything - could be in their business or even on a personal level. Listen for their pain.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:56): Open rnded questions, right?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:56): ended even.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:56): Absolutely - questions that cannot be answered by yes or no
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:56): Avoid politics and religion, but all else is fair game
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:57): unless politics or religion ARE your business?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:57): Before you attend the event, shake off any thoughts you have about promoting yourself - be thinking about who may be at the event and who you would like to meet. Not everyone wants to meet someone, but everyone likes to be met.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:58): Oh! Good point!
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:58): Well, be very careful that the conversation doesn't turn negative even if politics or religion is your business. Avoid the opinions and talk about it generally.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 12:58): at what point would you gear the conversation towards your business?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 12:59): You don't. The other person will do that. As the conversation progresses, naturally, the questions will come to you, what do you do, etc. Be very careful when this happens - remember to TELL don't SELL.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 12:59): what's the difference?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:00): Think of stories that have happened with you and your clients, talk about the problems you did solve or the problems you can solve for your clients - talk about HOW you do business - don't go for the sale pitch. If people want to do business with you after that conversation they will.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:00): i see...it will become a give and take of questioning i.e. a conversation
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:01): and i can specify how it is i want to answer their questions
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:01): The purpose of networking is to meet people, build connections, build relationships - business follows when two people know, like and trust one another. If sales happen prior to that, disaster usually follows.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:02): Yes, Gina give and take conversation and yes, you can specify how you answer their questions - get them interested and wanting to know more - keep letting them know you are there to help - be a problem-solver.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:03): Talk about how you do it with a passion - encourage questions so you can explain it more. Answering questions is far better than telling them without any interest on their part.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:03): Make sense?
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:03): y, ty
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:03): y
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:04): You see, when you are passionate about how you help someone, others will want to know more and their minds work to try to figure out who they know that you could help, especially if it is not something that would be useful to them.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:04): So if someone asks, "What do you do?" How should I answer?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:04): Not everyone is going to be a potential client for you.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:05): To answer what do you do, explain in a very informative way - how you do the work you do and why it is important to have someone like you do that type of work
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:06): I have been known to reply with "I make YOU look GOOD!"
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:06): that
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:06): is my tagline. ;)
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:06): Don't just say "I'm a graphic designer" or "I am an artist"
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:06): So I should be more specific?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:06): Yes, that's right - use your tagline and explain it as you go along. I'm sure the next question would be and how do you make me look good?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:07): That's what I hope will be then next question. If not I know they are not either, paying attention, or interested.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:07): and the next one will probably be, isn't that something I can do for myself? You can then explain all the pluses of having someone like yourself do it for them, knowledge, time, design experience, etc.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:07): ty
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:08): what if you're not providing a service...do you give a how and why regarding products?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:09): Yes, if they don't ask further questions, they really won't have any interest in what you are doing. At that point, try to end the conversation - if you feel it is going nowhere - be polite and excuse yourself, "gee there is so and so over there, please excuse me while I go say hello" and then move on. If you encounter that same person later, while you are with someone else, offer to introduce the two of them, even if you don't know if it will be a match or not.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:09): As for providing a service, tell them how you save them time, money or energy, Things like that - make it always with the emphasis of helping them
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:10): products themselves provide service, answer need.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:10): For products again, tell them why the product is going to help them or what it is going to do for them. Be creative and be interesting - make statements that make them ask for clarification ,get them talking.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:10): ;)
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:11): Yeah, two points for Gingee!
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:11): yes products do provide service and do provide a need - again, be creative!
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:11): Yep, 2 points for Ginger - good questions? Any more at this point or should we continue on?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:11): I'm good.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:11): pls cont
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:12): reight with yah :)
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:12): *right
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:12): You don't want to tell others how wonderful you are - you want others to tell someone how wonderful you are! You want to create that buzz about you. Make others want to meet you.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:12): lol, I thought that was German, Lisa. lol
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:12): lol
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:12): hee hee....i was thinkin' german too
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:13): Be memorable - do and say interesting things in public that others will hear (or overhear if they are evesdropping!) - it's a great way to get the word going about for you that makes others curious
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:13): can you give an example?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:14): please
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:14): Let's move on to how you look and act - always, always, dress for success. You want to look successful, act successful, but not with an attitude that you are better than everyone else
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:14): i would have to become more of an extrovert...with my introverted self :)
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:14): We love you Gina
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:15): luv ya back, ty
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:15): An example of being memorable - you could be talking to someone about the success you had with a client and how YOUR product/service was just the thing that was needed - pump it up a little with some cool adjectives - just don't lie about it, be truthful and excitied! And yes, Gina - introverts CAN network!
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:16): Those of us that are extroverts will approach you (or we should be doing that) and engage you in a conversation. Pretty soon, you will be approaching people, when you are relaxed and realize that it is great to meet others.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:16): I always say, my mother taught me never to talk to strangers! BUT, I didn't listen then, so why start now! LOL! Strangers are just friends I simply have not met yet!
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:17): I'm an introvert too. Denise Michaelas said once on her forum about. being a Social introvert.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:17): What were Denise's comments on Social Introverts?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:17): I lstien a lot then join in when I feel I have something to add/say.
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:17): *listen
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:18): You are doing everything correctly - you are LISTENING, not TALKING and when you feel you can contribute then you start to talk. That's wonderful!
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:18): That we can be social , just takes pratice to get out of our comfort zone
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:19): that is introverts
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:19): Force yourself a little bit - look for the person at an event that no one is speaking with - go over, extend your hand and introduce yourself. That's not too hard to do, I'm sure the conversation will go from there. If it doesn't start, ask questions like is this the first time you attended an event like this? Or, how did you hear about this event? Those types of questions are great ice breakers.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:19): LIsa, has being a Big Sister helped?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:20): Lisa, have you done any networking with your Little Sister? Have you introduced her to anyone else, have you talked about what she does with anyone else?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:21): yes, but i've also realized to get to the level I want I have "stretch".
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:21): Are you comfortable with that stretch? What do you need to make it easier for you? How can I help you make that adjustment?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:21): What is the level you want?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:22): My apologies Lisa, I don't mean to put you in the spotlight. If you would like, we could talk privately later.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:23): This does bring up another good point - getting to the level you want. If you don't know where you want to be, how will you know when you get there and how will you be able to ask for help to get there?
(2008/01/16 - 13:23): gmarks left the room
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:23): I'm taking little steps at a time. I want to grow my business.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:24): Networking is about giving - and it's also about letting others "give" to you by helping you
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:24): It feels good.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:24): You want to grow your business in what way please?
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:24): If we were talking and I asked you what could I do to help you grow your business, what would your answer be?
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:24): more clients/customers, more subscribers to newsletter
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:26): See, that's the part of the conversation that comes back around at you - be prepared to tell people just what it is you need at that point - you have offered to help them or at least listened to what they need, now they are asking you what they can do for you - it's a very natural conversation to have so be prepared with your answers. TELL others what you do but don't over do it.
(2008/01/16 - 13:26): gmarks joined the room
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:27): referrals
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:28): You could talk about your newsletter Lisa - explain what it is and how it helps your clients and how it would be beneficial to get more subscribers. Ask them if they know anyone that might be interested in subscribing - yes, referrals!
LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:29): good ideas, thanks
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:29): anyone else?
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:29): i'm still here...listenin' and learnin'
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:30): It's getting to be almost 1:30 and I'm not sure how long you all want to continue. Obviously, I could go on and on with this. Let me know what the stopping point is.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:30): i would like exposure so that i am being contacted, but i don't like to directly impose
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:30): Well, we can stop for today if there are no more question.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:31): Gina, please explain what you mean and then we will stop for today.
gedwards360 (2008/01/16 - 13:31): we can stop soon...i enjoyed it...it was very helpful...thank you
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:31): Very good, one last question.
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:31): BTW, since I got bumped Carol would you or Lisa copy the text for me, please?
gmarks (2008/01/16 - 13:32): You can email it to me at founder@WINningSistersOfRyze.com
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:32): If I can be of any help, you only have to contact me and ask - you can reach me by email at carol@runlancaster.com or caroldeckert@comcast.net - and my website is http://www.runlancaster.com and my blog is http://www.runlancaster.com/blog
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:32): Ginger, how do I copy it for you.
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:32): This room setup is not familiar to me.

LisaGuarino (2008/01/16 - 13:33): Thanks, Carole, and nice to meet you, Gina
caroldeckert (2008/01/16 - 13:34): Any good ideas for meeting others? We can talk privately and you can help me understand more about what you do and then I could probably suggest some things for you!
