The checklist provides the essentials to remember when networking:
Is this the right room for me?
What are the priorities?
Eat, drink and be merry?
How to be like James Bond.
How to deal with annoying people. (Escape)
What should I be prepared for?
If you are not yet comfortable with networking and believe it is a 'waste of time', this checklist may provide new insights you had not yet considered.
If you are recruiting and looking for the top 5%, you might use this checklist to evaluate their ability to connect, communicate, prioritize and be effective.
If you are developing a team to overcome a reputation of "sales people", this checklist can be a tool to start the conversation.
The checklist includes tips and ideas I have used for many years with great success. A few of the tips seem simple enough but are often forgotten during a busy day. Keep it handy on your smart phone as a reference.
