Are You Referral Ready?

Most people have a dominant networking style: Laid Back (easy going but socially limited; waits to be approached); Involved (engaged in social activities irrespective of networking potential); Strategic (follows a plan to pursue networking and leadership opportunities); and High-Energy (personally and professionally connected in various community affairs). Which one best describes you?

Because networking organizations are guided by social energy, it is easy to find yourself in situations that have appeal but don’t necessarily fit your networking style. When this mismatch occurs, your results will be compromised.

Networking from a position of strength means defining and intensifying the style that already works best for you. To be Referral Ready, you consistently put yourself in networking situations that foster relationships based on who you are when you are at your best.
