Your Networking Secret Weapon

Chances are you aren't even aware that you have a SECRET WEAPON that you can use relentlessly during any networking function. Sometimes, to stand out in the crowd you might need to call upon this and use it without hesitation.

By: Darlene Willman
When you use it correctly, people will be drawn to you like a moth to a flame. It will instantly give you a response along with a similar gesture. Many people take it for granted or forget to use it.
 
Inevitably, if you are having a bad day, it will be difficult to manifest your secret weapon. However, if someone pulls one out on you, it will lighten your mood and help you ease into a conversation.
 
If it's used too often, people may assume you're not being authentic or perhaps it's being forced. Some may even think it's too flirtatious or unprofessional if it's used at the wrong time.
 
This universal SECRET WEAPON has been used for centuries and is translated into every culture around the world. No matter who, no matter what age, no matter how often; this is an extremely powerful tool. It should be used every day, with every person you meet whether they are friends or strangers.
 
You can start up a conversation by showing it at any given moment. It should never be concealed or hidden especially when you are networking and building your business.
 
It can create immediate friendships and usually gets a reaction, every time you use it. People will usually remember you and tell others about you because you pulled it out on them.
 
It shows someone how much you care and can change the energy in the room.  Plus, you might consider using it to lighten the conversation if it gets too serious.
 
I would recommend using it in any picture or special moment. It communicates your personality and leaves a lasting impression. I have also suggested you use it while you're on the phone talking to people you are following up with. 
 
Have you figured out what your SECRET WEAPON is?
 
Simple. It's your SMILE :)
