virtual networking success

We've all been there.

You are having a conversation and trying to explain something and you can tell that the other person is more concerned thinking about what he or she will say next.

You can just feel it.

So what does that look like on a virtual platform?

It is someone that just keeps spouting out information about themselves.
It is someone that isn't sharing information that is valuable.
It is someone not engaging in a conversation.
It is someone pitching and not listening.
It is someone who doesn't contribute or ask you questions on your posts.

People like to have conversations with other people that are truly interested in understanding and engaging.

If you are looking to build relationships and have true conversation in the virtual world, treat it like a real social interaction. Be curious. Listen. Comment. Ask questions.

Post less and engage more and watch the value of your network grow.
