If you will have a chance to make a 60-second pitch (or perhaps even a longer one) make sure you’re well prepared in advance. Decide what you’re going to say (including your two sentence summing up) and then make sure you can fit it comfortably into the time without having too much Drop Shipping - An Entrepreneur's Dream or a Fool's Nightmare?For many people, the possibility of selling goods online appears fraught with difficulties. Firstly, you need to locate a product, store inventory, organise a good shipment or carrier company and so forth.

- Before attending any networking meeting find out as much as you can about it: what’s it for (just networking or will there be a talk), will you have a chance to present (e.g. a 60 second presentation), who attends (e.g. mostly small businesses, mostly corporate people, mostly one-man-bands/micro-businesses), what’s the dress-code
- Having done your homework on the meeting, decide what you can offer these people.
- Learn to sum up your business in two short to medium sentences. This is your ‘pitch’. If someone shows an interest you can then expand, but they aren’t going to give you ten minutes just to explain what you do, before they find it’s of no interest to them.
- Don’t take it personally. Sometimes someone will brush you off. It’s very easy to feel hurt and humiliated by this but don’t. If anything you should think less of them, not yourself. There’s never any excuse for people to be rude to each other at these events. Just take a deep breath and move on.
- Always be polite. If someone is pitching to you but it’s of no interest, and if you don’t feel you have anything relevant to pitch to them, just say it was great to meet them, thank them for talking to you and move on.
- Remember – networking isn’t all about swapping business cards. It’s about building relationships. Someone may not be directly interested in what you have to offer, or vice versa, but they might no someone who is, or they might develop a need for your services in the future. You’ll never know if you’re not out there building relationships.

Phone Screening for EmploymentMore companies now use phone screening for employment. This is done to trim down the number of applicants and determine who are really qualified for the next process which is the face-to-face interview.

Encourage Curiosity and Generate Creative EmployeesI was sitting at my desk trying to get inspiration for an edition of a newsletter I write when grandson Tory, who hangs out with me a lot said, 'What's this Pop?' He'd been progressively going through the top drawer of my desk and it was about the 10th time I'd answered. It got me thinking about curiosity and how uncluttered minds r etworking isn’t all about swapping business cards. It’s about building relationships. Someone may not be directly interested in what you have to offer, or vice versa, but they might no someone who is, or they might develop a need for your services in the future.

Freelancing As A CareerFreelancing symbolizes a profession in which an employee who sells his services to different employers without entering into any long-term contract with anyone of them. It’s an enticing career that carries a certain kind of allure. It can add spice to one’s dull life and offers a chance to earn extra money. However, for many people interest to them do follow up, preferably by phone but if not then certainly by email, within a day or two of the meeting.

- If you’re just starting out don’t go in saying so – it doesn’t give you credibility. If someone asks outright that’s another matter, but role-play the successful business person even if you don’t feel you are that person yet! Be confident and let the confidence that you know your subject shine through.
- If at first you don’t succeed … don’t despair. Don’t expect to come away from your first meeting with a handful of referrals, although if you do that’s great! As a rule though it’s all about building relationships and becoming known to people, and that takes time!
