Say "yes"
To turn any chance encounter into an opportunity, you need to say yes to outside-of-work activities. Increase your chances to meet people by putting yourself out there. -Susan RoAne, networking expert
Say "yes." It’s nearly impossible to turn encounters into opportunities if you sit at your desk all day and go straight home after work, Susan RoAne, a speaker and author known as the “Mingling Maven.” Increase your chances to meet people by putting yourself out there, whether it’s a study group through your local Financial Planning Association, a new committee at work or cocktails with friends. Last year, for example, RoAne entered an elevator in New York City’s Dream Hotel, exiting minutes later with three new contacts, a dinner recommendation and VIP tickets to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show.
