Happy Halloween!!Today for my BNI meeting, I dressed up as a Scary Networker! I incorporated the concept into my commercial for the day. Basically, I was dressed in all black with a black hood that had no face! I could see out, but no one could see in!
Scary networkers are everywhere!! Here are 10 things to watch out for:
1. They often have no face ... because you can't really understand what they do in their business or who they serve
2. They're in your face and totally focused on selling you their product or service
3. They're passing out their business cards like it's candy on Halloween
4. They don't make eye contact
5. For them, it's all about the food and adult beverages
6. While talking to them, they're constantly looking past you to the other people in the room who seem to be more interesting
7. They talk and talk and talk and talk all about themselves
8. They're usually the ones sitting during open networking
9. They're practicing the hummingbird technique of fluttering around collecting cards from everyone in order to scan them into the spam database
10. Their hand shake is slightly better than that of a zombie
Beware out there! Scary networkers are everywhere!
Do you have any tales of encounters with these types of networkers?

Oh, I thought those were the black widow spider networkers! They're the ones who capture you in their web and then suck the juice out of you while making you wish that death will be swift!
