Creativity in Networking

By Harvey Mathason, Contributing Writer Harvey's Bio

In a networking event you have only a brief time to ingrain an impression on each

person you meet. Here is where creativity comes into play. I’m talking about

standing out without looking foolish. For example, I would not recommend wearing a hot pink outfit. Let me also emphasize that I am suggesting only one idea. I’m sure your imagination will bring forth many other ideas. The idea I suggest is to offer people a favor. The favor is in the form of useful information – websites or blogs. This information can be on the back of your business card or on a separate slip of paper. You can elect to use fancy paper such as parchment. If the information is presented on a separate piece of paper, include your contact information. Also, ask the person if they would like to have the information. I suggest the following websites and Blog:

Giving people useful websites or Blogs is not only a way of leaving a positive impression but is also a way of imparting valuable tools. for someone to use. Another bonus I have found is that people offer you valuable websites or Blogs in return. Please let me know your favorite websites.
