Great question. A one on one is when you make time to meet with anot
her person.When you plan to meet with that someone else, the idea should be to find out how you can help that person.
Some people are really, really good at this. Some people are really, really bad. Those people think it is an opportunity to sell and boy do they go about it full force ahead.
In the Northwest Ohio area, there are now over 300 people who have completed the Certiifed Newworker course. While it may not be 100%, most will ask, "How can I help you?" as the first or second question. I am proud of them. They are changing the voice of the business world. They are more about serving others rather than selfishing serving themselves.
What experience have you had when you've met one to one with another business person?

Having the "givers gain" attitude makes a HUGE impact in most situations. Thinking of others first certainly encourages others to so the same. So much good comes from these kinds of gestures. I wasn't sure that i could help Barbara; however, taking the risk to contact my firend at a local nusring school became a potential conduit for Barabara to meet the psrson she needs to meet there. I must say that it was very important for Barbara and I to follow up so that we can make sure I had helped her in a way that was helpful for her to be successful in her business. Time will tell! Anyway, you are welcome, Barbara.
The biggest problem I have is often when I'm doing a one-on-one with someone (usually a non-CN person), I'm always asking about their life, but they seldom ask about mine. I'm just not comfortable saying, "Ok, time to switch gears and talk about me now." How do others handle this situation?
It is easy to feel nervous on the initial greeting, but I have learned that people are there to help you, and it is ok to be yourself. This allows you to help them just as well.
