As much as we are taught to network in the business world, I find that people often make crucial errors when learning how to “work a room.”
Here are six of the most common ones:
1. Blabbermouthing. Talking too much. Going on and on without giving another person a turn. If you’re the one who hogs the talking platform you will soon frustrate others and they tune out the blabbermouth. If you are a blabbermouth who is wringing out the patience of other’s you will be labeled as such. Don’t be fooled. Just because your job requires you to speak for a living that everyone wants to hear your opinion on every subject. Professors, clergy, professional speakers who are all paid for a living pay special attention.

And today, I just plain don’t feel like marketing. I wish that all the clients would simply roll into me and I wouldn’t have to do anything but assign tasks.
I am sure that nurses who are still working in the hospitals feel this way as well some days. So today, I thought I’d give you some things to do for your Legal Nurse Consulting practice that will still help you grow without making you do “traditional” marketing tasks.
