Listen, dont speak
I attended a trade show for the Assn Execs of NC today…this is truly a target market for me and it was good to be with them. One of the things I was reminded of is the importance of simply listening to people. I wasn’t there to tell MY story..i was there to make friendships and build relationships. This takes time, time I am willing to invest as these folks are in NC.
We can all do better to talk a bit less and listen a bit more…This makes all the more sense as I tell you I am sending notes to six people I met, and listened to today.
"I want to personally thank you for helping to make NJCUL’s Leadership Conference such a huge success. Your presentations were full of relevant information and very well received. From that first meeting in Baltimore last year, I knew you would be great – and you were!"
