The importance of 121 meetings

I had a 121 today when the subject of 121 meetings came up! I was talking about the importance of 121 meetings in building business networking relationships and the person I met shared some thoughts from his own experience.

He said that he finds the best 121s are when he has met someone a number of times at NRG Networking Events and there is some synergy betwwen them. This highlights the importance of joining and being visible within your chosen networking groups.

He went on to say that he has found that the best approach in 121s is to learn about the other person and how you can help. This gives you the opportunity to refer and introduce the people you are an Advocate for. Since he has adopted this approach he has found other people becoming an Advocate for him without him asking. He's having tremendous fun doing it too!

Good Networking!
