Ask yourself what the objectif main objective you want to achieve going there.
Here are a few benefits of networking:
1. Information sharing– The depth of knowledge and experience from a group of people can be staggering. Networking will provide many opportunities to ask questions and receive feedback. Discussing other points of view really
expands your knowledge base, and allows you to see things from a broader perspective. Learning from other’s “best
practices” saves time, energy and resources.
2. Connections– When opportunity “knocks” you want to be in a position to take advantage of it. Many times there is a need for information-sharing, joint ventures, partnerships, and even needs for services. Having a wide network of individuals to contact may be the difference in seizing the moment or missing it completely.
3. Promotion– Whether promoting yourself or your organization, having a large network may assist you in moving your career forward, promoting a new product launch, or driving new members to your organization. “Word of mouth” is still one of the best forms of advertising. Spreading good information about you or your organization may provide leads for career advancement or organization growth.
4. Credibility– Improving your reputation and finding support are also benefits of networking. If you are successful at
networking, you might get a reputation for being a person people will want to talk to and get to know. A good reputation leads to support. You may have valuable information, ideas, and resources those in your network may need. Establishing your desire to assisst a colleague increases your credibility.
5. Self Esteem– Making new friends and socializing is an important aspect of ourhuman nature. Developing new relationships leads to higher self esteem and confidence. By taking the steps to improving yourself and connecting to people you are moving your career forward. Your confidence will continue to grow as you become more comfortable with
networking. Confidence draws people to you and opens up the opportunity to gain more information for yourself and share information with others.
I think that first you should remember that they are there for business so if you want to make networking you should be able to share something with them or else if it a one way exchange. When the conversation end say thank you for taking the time to answer my question.Ask for there business if they didnt allready give it to you.
My first idea is to invite them to take a coffee somewhere so that there not seeing u as a customer but a fellow artist.You should be paying there coffee to boost there interest.This experience can be a boost of confidence for you and also will help you stand out of the crowd so they can remember you.
Second idea make a list of question and let them see those question and let them answer some question of there choose or find less then 5 question you really want to ask them and memorize them.If they didnt accept the invitation ask them if they can answer those question on the phone later.
