Dr. Bill Saleebey: Networking Best Practices with the Networking Expert
In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Dr. Bill Saleebey discuss:
- Report versus rapport.
- Doing your research before networking with someone.
- Top tips for networking wide and deep (and for improving your elevator pitch).
- Deep diving into what people really do.
Key Takeaways:
- Establishing rapport is one of the key elements of networking. You have to engage in rapport talk to really establish relationships.
- Build the relationship - talk less, listen more, and really connect with those you are meeting with.
- It takes multiple conversations to truly build a relationship and connect.
- Volunteer, get involved, do what you say you’re going to do, and do an outstanding job.
"My definition of networking is building mutually beneficial relationships over time. There's a lot in that - it's mutually beneficial, and it takes time." — Dr. Bill Saleebey
