How to Network like a Pro besides a Busy Schedule

Many of us have really busy schedules and have a million things to do with no time at all. We at times need to cancel the most important of tasks in order to accommodate other things. In this little time of twenty-four hours, we sometimes even do not get the time to meet with the important people. Hence, following are a few tips that will help you network like a pro within time of 24 hours:

1. Interact with the People that do not Waste your Time

Value those people who respect you and your time. Interact with the co-workers who understand the demand of your busy schedule and who would come to work and leave at the same time as you do. As for the people who do not; weed them out, as they are going to slow you down.

2. Schedule Meetings

Schedule every meeting perfectly. As in when people need to meet up and when the meeting would start etc. In case you do not define the timings properly and just throw the timings up in the air, chances are everyone will show up late. In case the meeting is at 3pm, people need to hear that it is at 3pm. Making a phone call or sending an official email will make this time even more concrete.

3. Host a Video Conference

It is comparatively more convenient to get people in front of a camera instead of getting them in all in a room at the same time. Hence, utilizing web tools like Skype and Google Hangout etc, to get them involved in the meeting.

4. Feedbacks and Ideas

In order to be efficient, you need to provide valuable feedback and not something that floated over your head a few seconds ago. Spend some time to think about the minutes of the meeting and what you have to say about it. If you take time to think over what others had to present, they will favor you with the same attention.
