Six Common Talking Mistakes

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.

As your small practice’s “webmaster”, if you’re are going to do it yourself then you will need to not only have potential clients flock to your site, but you also need to keep them there so they will hang around and look. Yet I continually run across poorly designed sites where I see the same mistakes repeated over and over again.
