It's Not About Telling It's ASKING With Networking
Good post, I must admit. We often like to hear ourselves talk sometimes.. I'm guilty of that sometimes but ultimately people want to be listened to and know you are taking full attention of their wants/concerns.
In business it is good to network to learn what future clients are doing in their lives and also what your Associates do, their interests, specialities, and areas they cover. Unfortunately with too many people leaning narcissistic, a conversation from their side tends to be about ME ME ME and if you don't believe it look at advertisements that some agents put out about being #1 all the time. I hate to break it to them but other agents and believe it or not most clients DON'T CARE about that.
The proper way to network is ASK questions and LISTEN. Yes, reveal who you are but don't put the spotlight on you like you are this superstar, someone to worship the ground you walk on. THAT is a huge turnoff, egotistical, and frankly not a caring way to interact with others.
LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN and "tune into" another to get the most out of all your networking. People care when YOU CARE "about them."
