Legion Expands Business and Influence Through Networking

Pleasanton, CA, September 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “Networking isn’t easy for everyone,” declared Alon Brener, the director of operations at Legion. “Even some of the most outgoing people among us struggle when it comes to forging connections with new people. It’s crucial that a company’s team members have the ability to make helpful new contacts in a range of settings, so I have some basic networking tips that I encourage our associates to use.”

The first thing that Alon suggests to his team members is asking open-ended questions when meeting a potential contact. He explained, “It’s best to ask questions that invite lengthy responses, since people enjoy talking about themselves and the unique value that they can offer. I think it’s much more likely that you will make a real connection if you listen more than you talk. When you are genuinely interested in what someone has to say, it helps you make a lasting impression on that individual.”

When the time comes for his team members to make their case to a new contact, Alon believes it’s best to have a strong elevator pitch in mind. “I believe in keeping things simple, especially if you’re not a seasoned networker,” he added. “If you practice a 30-second speech that includes what you do and how your company can achieve great things for your new contact, you will be ready to forge a beneficial connection.”

You never know what’s in store for you after you make a contact, which is one of the great things about the whole process. Unexpected opportunities tend to emerge when you have a team that’s willing to put themselves out there and connect with other talented people.”

Networking also helps with recruiting and hiring efforts. “There’s a ripple effect when you forge meaningful bonds through networking,” Alon commented. “More and more people learn about the innovative services that you provide, which leads to further interest in your company from job seekers.
