"The key to successful networking is … “Watch for what you like in the person.” Spot on. While I have only been to a few trade shows and even fewer networking events. However, the ones I have been to have been cold, calculated, and felt like a very artificial environment. I would not want to network or joint venture with anyone that I did not like in general, or someone who would approach me because they wanted something that I have. But that is just me. Great post..

I've found networking to be largely a waste of time. Reason being most people want to network with those on the same level/status as them. I've found almost anyone can be reached by telephone and e-mail - politicians, millionaires, etc. Will be sticking to the later. Interesting thoughts Andy.

I never quite realized it before, but that's usually what I do- -look for what I like in a new person. Like your article points out, we often get caught up trying to find out what we can get out of a person we first meet, or trying to find that perfect moment to pitch ourselves. But I usually go into an initial meeting trying to find something that I like about the person I'm talking to and I'll often point it out to them. That's a great way to make a good first impression because everyone loves to hear positive things about themselves, and I usually remember the people who tell me things they like about me! Thank you, Andy. And be sure to thank Christina Harbridge for me! Davion Hussen Daycom Media www.daycommedia.com twitter.com/daycommedia Great Stuff.
