We need technology but…
“Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most
important.” Bill Gates

2. Sales is emotive...
In a recent survey 67% of clients move from one supplier to another because of...
The indifference of their current supplier.

3. Threats to Recruitment Agencies
• Clients cut out the “middle man”.
• In-house Recruitment specialists.
• Technology platforms that do everything automatically.

Our biggest fears

I don’t know the subject matter
I don’t know how to go up to people
I feel a but stupid
I am not a natural conversationalist
I am shy
I get stuck with the loser every time
No one talks to me
I find it awkward/ false

Have you ever done the following
Used a tradesmen based on a referral from a friend.

What is/ is not networking
NOT Selling – it’s a PLATFORM for future sales
What is it:
The ability to create and manage professional relationships
![Page 16: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why network
To gather market information
To create prospects – a growth strategy
To Build Visibility
To Build Relationships
To reinforce relationships
Because the competition is doing it

Prioritise it – easy client meetings
“Crocodiles at the watering hole”
![Page 18: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Biggest problems with networking
People do not work the room People are in the wrong room
With so many events the key is to: Go to the right events Do the right things at these events
Networking is hard – don’t make it harder by not knowing who you are looking for.
![Page 19: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Who are you there to meet?
Make a list of your ideal customers: Who pay you the most Who you’ve enjoyed working with Who you’ve had most success with What companies are suppliers to your industry Is there a relevant professional body
…things are much easier when you know who you are looking for.
![Page 20: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Reticular Activator
If you do not know what you are looking for, do not be surprised if you do not find it.
![Page 21: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
First steps
Choose an objective – make it activity based
Plan your route (when to arrive, who to sit with etc)
Research the group and the dress code
Business cards
Read newspapers

Tool-kit
You need to have good manners
You need to be able to talk
…EASY!!

The fear…
Never compare your inside to someone else’s outside - because you will always lose.
![Page 24: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Entering the room…
Pause and survey the room
Targeting groups
Eye contact and smile
Maintain Distance
Ask Permission – Please may I join you?
“Hi I am FIRST NAME – make it easy
Use an open question – Where have you come from today
Badge – put on right lapel
![Page 25: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

5 Steps
1. Getting into the conversation2. Talk about them3. Talk about you4. Chat 5. Get out of conversation
Questions to ask Where have you come from Who do you work for What do you do When did you get into this business Where are you based How long have you been doing it How any staff/ branches have you got
![Page 27: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Have something to say
![Page 28: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Help others!
“Understand the universal law of reciprocity. This basically states that what you give out comes back tenfold – if you want referrals – start giving them to others.”
![Page 29: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Big Question
What professions are good contacts for you?
![Page 30: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Your 30 second introduction
Examples
Traditional “Afters based”I am an accountant I help people pay less taxI work in real estate I help people buy the property of their dreamsI’m a personal trainer I make my clients more attractive to their ideal partnerI’m a nutritionist I help people who are sick & tired of feeling sick & tired
What can you say as opposed to I’m a recruitment consultant or I’m in recruitment”
![Page 31: Networking training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/5562fda1d8b42a62598b4cdf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Always Do…
The Business Card: Ask, Look, Comment, Ask Permission to make a contact call. Note time when you are going to call
Call when you say you will
Sell the meeting is the next stage
Now you SELL!!
