The Most Important Question You Can Ask When Networking

January 23, 2007 by Ben Yoskovitz

How Can I Help You?

This question is so effective because:

  1. It shows you care.
  2. It gives the person an opportunity to talk about themselves.
  3. It opens up opportunities.
  4. It’s easy for the person to reciprocate by asking the same question.
  5. It gets to the heart of networking.

So, how can I help you?
