I simply love the idea of using story telling to educate your network and your marketing force.

Anne Barber and Lynne Waymon in their book “Make Your Contacts Count” show how you can develop success stories to educate your network. I have been using their formula with great success!

In my workshops, some people are concerned that success story telling may sound like bragging. Dr Misner’s article is a great source to help people to deal with such concerns.

When you start to tell about how much fun you had working on a successful project and it’s outcome you move past the bragging and into helping your listeners enjoy a little of a good life story. We are all open to good news. Sharing fun is a good thing.

Hi Ivan,

good tips as usual

I would like to add a number 1.2: nowadays many people are member of an online business network where people can also write testimonials for each other. This is easy to do and has a low treshold. That’s why I nominate it as an extra tip

Have a great networking day !

Excellent Post Ivan. I have noticed that Women are more likely to not brag or self promote. Often when I am teaching the GAINS Profile, the hardest part for the women to get is the Accomplishments…..they don’t think of the things they do as any big deal. We often have to brainstorm about the things they have done. I coach women to list their accomplishments and let others know. When I know what you have accomplished I can carry that information and build your credibility.
