Smiling and Networking: Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai

Networking is about building meaningful relationships.The best start to a meaningful relationship is a smile. A genuine smile. Not the cheesy, I am just smiling because I am supposed to smile, smile, but that natural smile that is so contagious that people can’t resist smiling back smile.

A smile humanizes you and makes you more approachable and in networking that is extremely important. Plus smiling improves your appearance, creates trust and rapport and overall just helps you and the others around you to feel good. And in networking, smiling shows that you are open to conversation.

As with all good things, there are some smiling “hazards” that you should probably avoid during networking such as:
  • The closed lip smile which can give the impression that you are hiding something or harboring a secret. You want to be trusted, so nix the close lipped smile.
  • The forced smile. I am sure you have seen these before, they are so, well, unnatural. Better to just not smile at all. If you’re not feeling it, don’t fake it. You don’t want to give the impression that you aren’t interested or paying attention.
  • And definitely, beware of the sneer. This can indicate sarcasm and disrespect. Under the right circumstances and used in the right way, it can be funny, but most often a sneer will give a negative impression and you should probably avoid using it.
Even with your years of experience, it can be easy to forget this powerful secret weapon of yours.
Some quick tips to keep you smiling include:

  • Before you pick up the phone to call someone to connect with, think about something funny or positive so the person you are talking to can “hear” your smile.
  • Before you go to a networking event, remind yourself to smile so you are more approachable.
