ARE YOU A SAVVY NETWORKER?

1. Do you hesitate to go to business or social events where you don't know people?
2. Do you stand 'out of the way' at networking events?
3. Have you ever monopolized one person's time at an event? Or spoken only to people you already know?
4. Do you struggle to move the conversation past the opening exchanges? Or do you
   find yourself dominating the discussion?
5. Are you on the outside listening in because you don't know how to join a conversation under way?
6. Have you found yourself trapped in a conversation because you didn't know how to leave it gracefully?
7. Have you found yourself at a loss for words in an awkward moment?
8. Are you uncomfortable being included in a business dinner because you are unsure of the expected etiquette?
9. Do you have your :10, :30, and :60 “elevator pitches” ready?
10. Do you know how to follow up after making a business acquaintance?
