How
the Long
Island Business networking events work
Businesses from different parts of Long Island
(both Nassau, Suffolk and Queens) will attend.
We limit the business networking events to no more
than two people per industry. You will have
up to 20 face
to face networking sessions in a two hour time
frame, each session lasting about 5 minutes.
The idea behind the mini speed
meet sessions to to give you a little time
to try to establish a rapport with someone.
You will learn about their business and they will
learn about yours. The main goal is to
determine who you would like to network with
further. It is not about trying to make a
quick sale. Perhaps you know someone who can
help them, and they may know someone who is a
great contact for you!
After each round, the organizer will give you
about a minute to write some notes on the person
you just met and then one party will rotate to the
next station and the process begins again.
(You will be provided with a notes card containing
all participants contact information and a space
to take notes).
A maximum of 26 people are included at each event.
This way you get to meet everyone who has
attended.
What is Traditional
Networking?
Long
Island Business Networking is about building a
relationship with someone over time, earning their
trust, and sharing ideas and contacts with each
other. It is a process that takes time and
can not happen over night. Business
Networking is reciprocal in nature meaning that
the goal is to create a win win process for both
parties. As Lucy Rosen from the Business
Development Group points out, "You have
to give to get."
So how do you network?
It is simply about talking to people and trying to
help them. In turn, they will want to help
you.
