There’s more to networking than shaking hands and passing out business cards, says BNI founder and networking expert Ivan Misner.

In today’s new business television show produced by yourBusinessChannel, Mr. Misner shares his latest business networking tips on the ten traits shared by all master networkers.

The business networking advice in the video is based on the results of a recently conducted survey of 2,000 business professionals. The survey asked respondents what they thought were the most important traits for networking.

The results of survey show that a successful business networking strategy is all about building social capital over the long term, says Mr. Misner on the show.

So what are these ten traits? To hear all ten traits, you’ll need to watch the business television show. But here are four.

The tenth most important trait, says Mr. Misner in his business networking tips, is to work your networks at every opportunity. Whenever you have a spare a moment, use that time to organize your contacts database, send emails, set up appointments, and carry out any other activity which contributes to your business networking strategy.

The ninth most important trait in becoming a successful networker is sincerity. The survey results show that successful networkers convey their sincerity at every turn, and give others their undivided attention.

The next trait in his business networking advice is that successful networkers genuinely enjoy helping others. They look for any small opportunity to help others.

The seventh most important trait, say the business experts, is that successful networkers always thank other people. What makes this such a great business networking strategy is that thanking other people doesn’t take long, it doesn’t cost a thing, and yet it really helps to cultivate relationships. It’s amazing that so many people in business overlook this important technique.
