Networking: 2 Minute Training #14: Prime the Pump For Your Next One to One Meeting

You’ve met another networking individual, and set up a one to one meeting. This could become the foundation for a pivotal relationship, and you would really like this meeting to connect the hearts and minds of your organization with theirs.

You want to impress them, but not overwhelm them. You want to make sure they can see your social side and your business side. So why not prime the pump?

Give them something to look at while you discuss your businesses, and something that they can take away.

Let them know the name of your business, how long you’ve been in business, and what city you live in.
Tell them about your family, and how long you’ve been living in the city you live in now.
Answer this question: Something you may not know about me is:

Who are the top 10 businesses that make good referrals or leads for you? Write these down, and put some space for the one to one meeting networker to write down some suggestions. Put some extra space around your top 3 business referrals.

List who your last 10 Customer were, and what you did for them

Include a spot for what you’d most like to know about their company. And then handwrite your answer in that spot.

Getting together for a one to one meeting can be the start of a beautiful relationship. Why not prime the pump, and get yourself ready to present with pride!
