Putting Others First

The next time you attend a networking event, be deliberate in your efforts to help others. Seek out new people to chat with, ask questions about their business, and ask how you can help them as far as getting business leads or making introductions.

Too often I run into people at events that are so driven to talk about themselves and care nothing about listening to anyone else. These people fail at connecting with anyone because they're perceived as selfish.

Do you know the best part about helping someone else find leads or making introductions? They'll usually feel inclined to return the favor!
