When you start your business you have a list of people you know and usually know well enough to establish a relationship, but if you want your business to grow and expand, you have to expand the number of people you meet. You also have to maintain healthy relationships with your existing list.
Rule number one in striking up conversations with new people is to limit the number of times you say "I". Put the focus on the other person.
You need time to establish your credibility and trustworthiness. As the relationship progresses, they will find out what you are doing and by natural progression they will find out about your business, your passion for it, and all the details you've been dying to share with them.
You will find valuable "hello" opportunities everywhere.
The best time to look for new contacts is while you are still going through your existing lists of people. Always have new people in your life who you are establishing a relationship with.
Don't restrict your people meeting opportunities to face-to-face events. Social media plays a powerful part in today's business world and networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are used for social and business activity.
