Networking is a vital part of achieving success in a competitive business landscape, but we at Universal Events know it isn’t always easy. With that in mind, we would like to share a few tips from some of the most connected people in the world. Keith Ferrazzi is a CEO and the author of two acclaimed networking books: “Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time” and “Who’s Got Your Back: The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success – and Won’t Let You Fail.” His networking approach is really quite simple – he collects names everywhere he goes. Ferrazzi believes you should write down names of influential figures when you encounter them at conferences or read about them in articles. From there, you can follow them on social media and work toward making contact with them. As the founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman knows more about networking than just about anyone in the world. His philosophy, which we at Universal Events adhere to as well, is that when you help someone else, you benefit yourself. Our team encourages you to find opportunities to do favors for your contacts. This is the best way to create value and foster connections that endure. If you follow these simple strategies, our team at Universal Events is confident that you will build mutually beneficial business relationships and quickly gain ground in your career pursuits.
