How To One-2-One

7/19/2019

 
Picture
One-2-One meetings allow you to establish the Rapport that helps build Relationships which can lead to a Reward. Here’s how to make the most of your One-2-Ones:
​
  1. DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Someone’s gym buddy might be the person you’ve been hoping to meet. Don’t limit your opportunities based on assumptions.
  2. CONNECT RIGHT AWAY. If your One-2-One is from a structured networking event, do yourself a favor - reach out within 24 hours to set up the meeting and always confirm the day before.
  3. BE RESPONSIVE. Always reply when a fellow member follows up with you for a meeting. Remember - not responding is a response.
  4. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Visit the member’s website or LinkedIn profile before you meet so you can ask insightful questions to show that you’re prepared, interested and engaged.
  5. GET PERSONAL. Use your One-2-One to uncover common ground besides work. Ask people what they do in their spare time, if they belong to other organizations, or where they volunteer.
  6. LISTEN AS MUCH AS YOU SPEAK. We’ve all been on the receiving end of a one-sided conversation. If you find yourself dominating the discussion, redirect by asking a question.
  7. LEAVE A TERRIFIC IMPRESSION BY FOLLOWING UP. Thank the person for their time, mention a point you discussed, and provide any promised information. Better still, offer to make an introduction to someone you think they should meet.
