Nice job on the video Bill. Indeed, when it comes to networking, I think there are two “golden rules” that if followed correctly, will result in gains for you. #1. You only get out of networking what you put into it. If you place as much energy finding opportunities for others as you do for yourself, the net benefit is always increased business for you. #2 It’s not always about YOU. If you spend 90% or more of your time at networking events talking about you, your product or service, or what you can do for somebody, and then only 10% (or less) of the time learning about the other persons product or service-I guarantee you’ll leave with a whole lot of business cards, and no business.
