3)Identify the exact hierarchy to reach for effective product positioning in a company
4)Identify influencers & decision makers right to derive a best sales flow funnel
5)Build relationships / Build networks
6)Think from the person’s perspective on why he has to network with us and what value he will get getting connected with us.
7)Build a specific network of leads exclusive for the business domain we are involved.
8)Know a company to the best before networking with the professionals there - people love to get connected with people who are clear enough why they are getting connected.
9)20% of the actions brings 80% of results but we may not know which 20% of our results will bring it, Hence Putting 100% best efforts consistently is the key for sustained growth.
10)People always look what kind of a person we are more than business.
