Ivan Misner is a master networker and founder of the worldwide business group called Business Network International (BNI). The philosophy on which this group is based is summed up in the two words "Givers Gain". This is a co-operative group and an excellent model for how you should treat other people. His Game Plan or strategy for networking is as follows :-
1. Remain Curious. Ask questions and listen to the answers. People love a good listener who is interested in what they do.
2.Learn from everybody. Talk to people at all levels because everyone can teach you something.
3. Cultivate contacts with people in power. They can bring you ideas, support and opportunities. Cultivate people who enjoy making money. Cultivate those whose hearts and interests are like your own.
4. Enjoy the journey
