Bad networking etiquette - Some suggestions

Bad networking etiquette

Here are some indicators that you’re doing networking all wrong:

1. When you meet someone new, you talk more about yourself than you ask questions.
2. You ask for favors more than you offer them.
3. You comment on other people’s blogs only to get others to read your blog.
4. Your last five tweets were about you.
5. You haven’t picked up the phone to connect with someone new in over a month.
6. You find yourself getting jealous at others’ success.
7. You try to get influencers to pity you instead of wooing them.
8. You put yourself down in the company of others.
9. No one asks for your business card or contact info… ever. (You didn’t ask for anyone’s, either.)
10. The only way you can grab people’s attention is by awkwardly forcing yourself into a conversation

12. Look, nobody’s perfect.
13. We all struggle with being self-centered or awkward on occasion. What I know is this: people who are incredible at networking do the following:
    
14. Ask thoughtful questions.
15. Show sincere interest in others.
16. Remember people’s names and stories.
17. Genuinely want other people to succeed.
18. Celebrate their friends’ achievements over their own.

I’m not saying you need to be over-confident, arrogant jerk. In fact, I’m saying the opposite.
Be humble. Show interest in others. Seek influence for the sake of making people’s lives better.
Don’t focus on yourself.
