This is National Women's Small Business Owner Month, and we're celebrating all month long. In today's episode our host shares business etiquette to help you get a better return on the time you invest this holiday business networking season. Listen to this episode to make an excellent professional impression and meaningful connections at networking events and parties.
Attending networking events and company holiday parties can present good opportunities to build connections and leave a lasting positive impression, when approached with the right etiquette. Whether you're mingling with colleagues or meeting new industry contacts, here are essential tips to help you project professionalism and make the most of these events.
Projecting a professional image is not just about looking good on the outside. Yes, dressing appropriately for the occasion and venue are a must, but carrying yourself with confidence, being respectful, as well as knowledgeable about your profession are also a key part of projecting a winning professional image.
Being strategic when it comes to business networking can help you get the return on the investment of your time, that you desire, from the networking event. Being strategic means setting clear goals, researching the event, preparing and practicing your introduction (elevator pitch), as well as socializing outside your usual circle so you can learn about new opportunities and make valuable new contacts. Also remember to bring traditional business cards with you to hand out. Following these tips will help you demonstrate excellent business etiquette and position you as a professional worth knowing. So, remember whether you are attending a formal networking event or a casual holiday party, being strategic, engaging and respectful will ensure you leave a lasting, positive professional impression which will help in maximizing your future business opportunities.
