How to Meet Someone at a Networking Event

Here is a simple way to navigate a crowd, find someone and start a conversation at a networking event. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Hi, it's Larry Sharpe with Neo Sage here to talk to you about how to meet someone at a networking event. Okay, so you're meeting someone at a networking event. You're going to walk up into this group of people, and you're going to say hi, or something. Right? Oof, it can be very scary. I'm going to give you a couple of quick tips that should help you out. The first thing is whenever you look into a sea of people realize something, there really is no sea of people. There's actually islands of people. Short, small islands of people, between one and six people will generally fill a room. There may be some larger ones, but that's only if there's some special personality in the room. Somebody special, or somebody famous. Then lots of people will hover around that person. But unless that person is there it's between one and six people generally in each island. What does it matter to you? Because what you want to do is your going to look for the odd numbered islands, the ones, the threes, the fives. Why does that matter? Because eye contact is always between two people, so generally speaking if there's a one, a three, or a five someone is out of the loop at any given moment. You want to be the one to make it even. If you like bigger groups go to fives. If you like smaller groups, go to ones. If you're in the middle, go to threes. Who cares? But go into one of them where there's an odd person out. When that person is the odd person out, two people are talking one person is kind of out, walk into that group, go to the person who's not currently being talked to and ask a question about them. It's all you need to do. Ask a question about them. If it's a business or professional event great question is always going to be, "What do you do?" Nice question to ask. Just walk up and say, "Hey, what do you do?" Nice. What if it's not business? What if it's more social? What if it's a wedding? Okay, "Hey are you with the bride or the groom?" What if it's an art show? "Hey, do you know the artist?" Whenever you feel comfortable, but just walk up and ask them a question. What will happen? They'll answer it, and you'll start talking. You might say, "Larry that seems kind of odd. I mean, that's weird just walking up to someone and saying that?" Yes, if you're in the middle of the street, of course it's odd, but we're not. We're in a social event, people are talking. It will be natural. I've been doing this for years, it's magic. Just walk up to a person, he or she's the odd person out, ask them a question. "What do you do? Are you here with the bride or the groom?" Any of those questions, and they will start talking. Keep asking questions. No, I didn't say, "Hi, my name is Larry. I'm super smart. You should talk to me." I didn't say that. I am super smart, you should talk to me, but it isn't really the point. I want to walk up and say, "Hey, what do you do?" Have them talk back and forth. If you do this right, you know what they'll do? They'll ask you who you are. They'll ask you what's going on, and you can now talk to them. It's the easiest way to get someone talking at any networking event wherever you are. Try this tactic, you'll have better conversations. Good luck.
