Great business networking listen 60% of the time and speak 40% of the time. They should ask open ended questions such as "Tell me how did you hear about this event?" "How long are you in your current position?" etc. My expertise is in face-to-face business networking and referral coaching and I love your insight into on-line tools to network.

I have read your interview ith interest and I agree that the goal when going to network is not selling but to make connections. Great business networking listen 60% of the time and speak 40% of the time. They should ask open ended questions such as “Tell me how did you hear about this event?” “How long are you in your current position?” etc.

My expertise is in face-to-face business networking and referral coaching and I love your insight into on-line tools to network.
