The Networking X Factor - Make Sure You Have It!

Some people aim to stand out from the crowd by wearing something unusual. I once knew a male solicitor who was famed for his colourful bow ties. One business woman always made a point of wearing a bright pink jacket so her “fuchsia would stand out amongst all the grey suits”

Think of the people you have met out networking.

Who stands out as most memorable? Why was that? More often than not it will be a story or subject that you spoke about. Or the person made you feel special in some way that you had their undivided attention or they engaged your emotions. The biggest compliment someone can pay you is to say that they feel so much better having spentntime with you. Aim to remember at last one thingnthat you speak about.
