ExecTec - Networking Etiquette for 2010

Everyone networks at some level. Even if you say you don't you do. You tell your friend about that great bar or restaurant or someone gives you an introduction to a great resource or contact. As social networking invades our day to day lives in the form of Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin we find ourselves interacting all the more.

The question is what is expected or proper in different networking situations.

We have all done it we have failed to follow through and or follow up on a contact or conversations. When are you obligated to get back to someone. If a person asks you for an introduction are they obligated to follow up later to thank and update you on the contact?

When you meet someone at an event and exchange business cards are you automatically obligated to connect on a social network?

When should you call verses email, write, text, Direct Message or publicly reply?

If a contact in your network has put out to you and others that they are searching for something should you repeat that request to your network with the persons name or should you shield your contact? After all your contact may not have made the request public beyond their closed network and while are comfortable with you they may not be comfortable with everyone in your network.

Do you consider how much of a contacts time and or resources you are requesting use of?

Last but certainly not least are you known for being willing to do for others as often or more then you are looking for people to do for you?

So join us as we explore the do's and don'ts of networking?

As always, there is no better way to meet and connect with other executives then over dinner and conversation. $21 in advance via PayPal or $25 at the event gets you a full dinner, drink and the best networking around.
