Why Speed Networking?

Speed networking is one of the fastest-growing business networking concepts today. Speed networking is being incorporated by chambers of commerce, alumni associations, trade associations, colleges and universities, corporations and private business clubs around the country and around the world.

Simply type “speed networking” into Google and you’ll see just how popular it is. Why all they hype? Unlike cocktail networking receptions, speed networking events are engineered to ensure that you will meet new business professionals efficiently and effectively in a short amount of time.

New advances in speed networking technology – such as our patent-pending eXtreme Networking matchmaking software – take speed networking to a whole new level. Not only will you meet new business professionals efficiently and effectively but you have the option to pre-select the industries you wish to network with before the event.

As our time becomes more limited, effective networking become more critical. As the pioneer of speed networking, SpeedNetworking.com understands time is of the essence. We are here to facilitate beneficial relationships to help you achieve your networking objectives.

Networking Tips

Perfect Simple Business Networking Gestures With Practice, Patience

While communicating with others, you need to make sure you come across confident, professional and friendly. In order to come across this way, you should pay attention to simple communication gestures such as shaking hands, connecting with your eyes, listening to others and speaking clearly.
 

Take the time to practice these techniques. Pay attention to how you interact with others so you can continuously improve.
 

First impressions are so important and set the tone for a conversation. Make sure to start out right by giving a good, firm handshake. You don’t want to squeeze too hard because you may hurt the other person. A “knuckle-crunching handshake” can signal that you are very aggressive and need to be in control.
