Making New Contacts



Making new contacts can be exciting. We all can use a helping hand. I have found that when meeting new business owners it is always a good idea to learn as much about that person as possible. Staying alert is the key. If you stay alert when meeting people you can form a good connection.

It is not necessary to try to out talk the other person. Start by being a good listener We all need to be heard and everyone has good ideas they can share. If you talk to much about yourself others will not continue to really hear you. You will turn people off right in the middle of your conversation.

Share information that others can use. Why not let your conversation benefit others. It is good to read the local business section of the newspaper to stay up on whats going on around you. When you find information that others might be able to use send them a copy of the article or email them the link to the information.

Ask yourself "What information can I share with someone today"?
