I'm curious to find out what the biggest networking challenges are that others perceive?

Best,
Jeanne

When I first started networking the pure fear of standing up.. receiving the microphone.. talking about myself and my business.. handing it to the next person.. and sitting back down without sweaty palms.. slipping.. stuttering.. losing my train of thought.. and maybe my name.. lol!

It took about 20-30 times before I was comfortable with that.. then it was kind of fun.. trying to get people to laugh.. that often helps them remember you!

Hmmm....good post! My biggest challenge is prospecting. Not me, but the methods people use!

last sunday at church while reflecting on the sermon and just feeling oh so peaceful. I get tapped on my shoulder, I open my eyes and I kid you not, I had an invitation in front of me, that read you have been funvited. I get excited about a home party as much as any man or woman...really though what's next passing invitations with the communion? Cutting th preacher in on % sales made if he slips the name of your name, company, phone number and message as part of the sermon?

Like the philosopher stated, there is a time and a season for all things!

My biggest challenge is initiating conversation. I find it difficult to introduce myself and speak about my business.

When are we not networking? When people are committed - really committed - to stepping up to their BEcoming, when are we not networking? Maybe the important part is in noticing how we go about it. What is most important... what we have to share with others? Or, what their wants and needs are? Hhmmm... which comes first?
