"Business breakfasts" or other networking type events can be a great opportunity for you to meet new people and make contact with potential business partners and customers - If you know the right way to interact with people, that is.

A common mistake is to fall into the trap of thinking you have to talk about yourself first.

As you can probably imagine there is a lot of "nervous energy" and "anxiety" flowing when people are trying to put themselves in the best light possible telling each other about their services.

One of the most common mistakes I see made in network marketing is what I call the “vomit approach”. A new network marketer learns about their company and products and then excitedly vomits that information on friends and family. This not only confuses the prospect, but the hype turns them off. Soon they are avoiding the new network marketer. The better approach is to ask questions and find pain areas. Then present the appropriate information. The results are always much better.
