Читать книгу Business Networking Simplified - Les Garnas - Страница 12

There’s a simple reason for being prepared. How would you feel if you met someone for lunch (supposedly to network together) and the other person asked for your help, but had no idea what he wanted to accomplish, what kind of a person should be contacted on his behalf, what he could do with that person if they were to meet, or what would represent a successful outcome? In short, this “networking” lunch companion meets with you and expects that you will do all his thinking for him, as he hasn’t a clue where to start. In most cases, I expect this would be the last networking lunch you will have with this individual, who has exhibited a lazy behavior, disregard for your time and attention, and clearly seeks to “use” you to think for him.
