- Ultimatum The ultimatum game is a game often played in economic experiments in which two players interact to decide how to divide a sum of money that is given to them. The first player proposes how to divide the sum between the two players, and the second player can either accept or reject this proposal. If the second player rejects, neither player receives anything. If the second player accepts, the money is split according to the proposal. WWTBAM PASSPORT story Given I don’t hear these stories very often I quickly realised the details HE was a money lender or a heavy The amount in question was 2k The guy in my end of the phone was not interested in excuses And as he lowered his voice even further so I could just make out the conversation he was clear what would happen if the money was not repaid – its hard not to be some what intrigued by this while also feeling sorry for whoever was on the other side of the phone! When my number came I had a Mr bean moment where I tried to get up and fell back again – who came to my help but yes you guessed it the guy on the phone and all I hear as he assists me is “isnt that lovely, chivalry's not dead yet” If only she knew! So we are not easy people to work out and that is our job and our skill
- After a bit of research I realised this was only the tip of the iceberg and I came up with this list So don’t be alarmed but lets start by remembering this There is access to so much information about there right now – when are you going to have time to read any of it!
- Our fears: No one knows me I do not know what to say I don’t know a single person here Everyone else is having a great time Is my badge on the right side Am I meant to sit down now or later or get a table No one will talk to me I will have nothing to say I don’t know how to go over and talk to people I always get stuck with the idiot I find small talk really difficult I don’t know why I am here Put these on a flip chart with as a second column – what's the worst that can happen
- Referrals work! Think about this from the recruitment industry point of view
- Ask them
- We don’t know how o meet people
- Networking is hard – don’t make it harder by not knowing who you are looking for Make a list of your ideal customers: Who pay you the most Who you’ve enjoyed working with Who you’ve had most success with What about suppliers What about those who will refer you PR opportunities Knowledge gathering… Professional bodies THE RETICULAR ACTIVATOR is a part of the brain the stays on alert. It's job is to make you notice some things and ignore other things (if you noticed everything , you'd be too distracted to function). When you buy a new VW, it seems like the whole world has bought VWs, because you notice them everywhere. That's the reticular activator at work.
- Anecdote: Hi I really enjoyed today but of you don’t mind me saying you are very fat He then repeated it emphasising the word fat And then he carried on given I was speechless “and because you are so fat you’re putting extra weight on your lower back, well I sell lumber supports”
- When you walk into a room full of people you immediately think Oh my god everyone knows everyone else – they were just like you two minutes a GO – so who do I talk to
- When you walk into a room full of people you immediately think Oh my god everyone knows everyone else – they were just like you two minutes a GO – so who do I talk to … the best thing to do is to ask questions – that’s what we are good at!
- Neighbours House (where have you come from where do you live) Business Card on roof (work, job) Aeroplane (how'd did you travel here) Tennis racquets on wings (hobbies and interests, sport) Pilot reading a newspaper (current affairs, industry topics) Anecdote -tony blair and 30 min compendium of all the soaps each week
- People love a good story I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou
- Working for others’ success will: separate you from all your competitors / create far greater loyalty than any price cut or special deal ever willcreate more value at no extra charge Understand the universal law of reciprocity. This basically states that what you give out comes back tenfold – if you want referrals – start giving them to others.” I have more fun, and enjoy more financial success, when I stop trying to get what I want and start helping others get what they want.” Spencer Johnson, One Minute Sales Person On the Importance of Scratching Backs In December 1970, psychologists Phillip Kunz and Michael Woolcott conducted perhaps the simplest social psychology experiment ever. Over the course of a couple of weeks, they popped some Christmas cards in the post. However, Kunz and Woolcott did not send the cards to their friends, family or colleagues, but instead randomly selected the recipients’ names and addresses from a local telephone directory. The two intrepid researchers were interested in the psychology of reciprocity, and wondered whether the act of receiving a greetings card from a total stranger would be enough to persuade people to send a card back. The answer was a resounding yes, with Kunz and Woolcott quickly receiving cards from the majority of those on their random list of complete strangers.
- It shows real interest in them It helps me help them since I can point them in the right direction It can also help extricate you form the conversation
- Examples Would you say you are in your dream job – we try and make that happen Have you ever found it difficult to find the best staff – I make that happen Were you ever disappointed to lose a key member of staff
- Accept invites to go to event Continue to build on your list of who you want to meet Have something to say Have a goal every time – makes it much easier Give referrals and you will get referrals So remember one of the key reasons to network is that it is one of your main competitive advantages over the perceived threats out there
