Omar
Komaiha, 22, of Parkland understands that networking has become somewhat of a
buzzword. However, networking remains a powerful way to build your business.
Further, Omar Komaiha, 22, of Parkland explains that if you want to network
successfully and build meaningful relationships with others, the following
pieces of advice may be helpful.
Seek Out People Who Matter the Most
Sometimes
referred to as the "critical few," these individuals may be
co-workers, a mentor, or someone who has helped you make meaningful connections
in the past. Mr. Komaiha says that it is helpful to think of these individuals
as people whose presence is immensely valuable to your career.
Build Long-Lasting Connections
Find a way
to help someone if you really want to connect with him or her. It is easy to
become complacent and assume that one of your successful co-workers or contacts
does not need anything from you because there is a good chance that you have
something worthwhile to offer. If you really want to build long-lasting
connections, you must get rid of this mind set, cautions Omar Komaiha, 22, of
Parkland.
Be Interesting, Generous, and Giving
The fastest
way to make a meaningful and lasting connection with a contact (especially a
new contact), is to pique that person's curiosity, writes Omar Komaiha, 22, of Parkland. Engaging a contact on an emotional level will make you stand out and
memorable. Additionally, it is networking fundamental to make sure you have
invested something meaningful with a contact before you ask them for something.
However, this does not mean that you should only do things if you expect
something in return. Be thoughtful and keep a spirit of generosity. The best
networkers genuinely like to help others and they make sure to do it often.
