Great Networking Tip!!!

 
flowerdelivery
Who are these for?  Wonder who sent them?
 
You know that happens every time they deliver flowers to the office.  Everybody's antenna goes up in the office and the buzz starts.  "Who got flowers?", "Who sent them?", "Wonder why they sent flowers?"

Okay, let's see how we can take advantage of this natural reaction of human nature...

Here's a great way.  Invite someone to lunch and offer to pick them up.  Then, when you get to their office, say that you need to run to the rest room to freshen up a little..."  Then when you get back, say the same.

This will get the buzz going around the office at a peak time of the day when others are coming and going from their lunch.

Here's what conversations will start up...  "Who is that with Bill?"  "Isn't that John, the Realtor?, Wonder why he is here?"  "John must be good if Bill is working with him.", etc.

Besides the buzz that you will create, you will also position yourself to win like Jim Valvano used to do with his NC State basketball team!  The longer you stay in their office, the more people you are likely to see and talk to so make sure to have your name tag on and plenty of business cards on you so you can hand them out!

GREAT TIP!  I always sit down in the lobby of an office - it's more difficult for them to ask me to leave!  LOVE the picture!

Sam - Hadn't heard of that one before...  Seems like people might start wondering if there's something you should see a doctor about, but could be worse!  I'll have to remember this one.
