Approaching a group? The biggest mistake is starting to talk right away. Take a moment to listen and decide if it's a conversation to join. If not, politely move on. #communication #socialskills

Networking isn't about selling; it's about serving. Approach connections with a 'How can I help you succeed?' mindset. Offering value first builds stronger, more fruitful relationships. #networking #relationships

To network effectively, listen first. Find a conversation to join, engage with people, and use the FORM method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Message) to build rapport. Always follow up and stay top of mind. #networking #communication

Mentors often use role-playing to help young salespeople become comfortable connecting with those who seem out of their league. They also invite them to shadow, observe, and then try on their own. A relaxed environment helps too. #mentorship #networking

A quirky interjection, like, 'Hey, sorry to interrupt, can you remember your topic? When I leave, get right back to it,' can get a laugh and allow a smooth transition. #communication #conversations

Role-playing and gradual exposure can boost confidence in networking, especially for young salespeople. Face-to-face interactions are often easier and more effective than cold calls, allowing for better vibe assessment and connection. #networking #salesTips

A good leader serves their team, leading by example and working in the trenches alongside them. Respect is earned when leaders prioritize their team and customers, focusing on giving rather than receiving. #leadership #teamwork

The key to successful networking is authenticity. Start small, like at a chamber of commerce, to practice your elevator pitch and connect with others. #networking #business

Always remember that you are the expert in your field. You are there to solve problems. Listen to the conversation, be a part of it, and give your input. All you need is a response from 2 people. #expertadvice #fieldexpert

The biggest thing about email is to answer. If you don't have an answer, acknowledge the email anyway. There's nothing worse than sending an email and being ghosted, so at least let them know you acknowledge the problem. #emailtips #communication
