Member You - Schmoozing is for Suckers
An appropriate use of mobile and wireless technology has given birth to Mobile Ticketing. It is the latest and the most convenient way of purchasing tickets. Consumers no longer have to wait in long queues for buying tickets of movies, concerts, trains, planes or any football or soccer matches. In traditional method, paper tickets were having few disadvantages; like difficulty in receiving tickets at
I’m sure there are a lot of people who don’t consider schmoozing to be in bad taste. And that’s totally cool. If you’re schmoozing in order to develop and maintain mutually valuable relationships, to engage, make friends, have fun, and expand your network, cool. More power to ya!

We can learn so much from our children. Ben, my 4-year old son, is learning to dress himself, and each morning my wife lays his clothes out for him. It’s amazing what you learn when you stay home in the morning! With great ceremony, she sets each article of clothing on the floor. His shirt goes upside down, and with any luck, it ends up on his body the right way.It was my job to help Ben this morn
So I decided to look up the word schmoozing in the dictionary for the first time. And I found three VERY interesting facts that you might like to know:
1) It’s defined as, “To converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage.”
2) It derives from the Yiddish term shmuesn, or “rumor.”
3) Synonyms include: gossip, bad-mouth, blather and tattle-tale.
I don’t know about you, but that’s NOT the way I communicate. Nor is it the way I’d want people describing the way I communicate.
I also Googled the word schmoozing. 2,272,000 pages came up. The first dozen or so were Amazon links for books written on schmoozing, most of which I’ve read; some of which were good. Unfortunately, schmoozing is a word that carries with it certain stereotypes. And I don’t think I’m alone here, but, here’s what I picture when I imagine a “schmoozer”:
But that’s just me. That’s MY truth, not THE truth.

Thinking of a career as a proofreader? Then you will most likely want to know about salaries. Are you hoping to hear that you will make thousands and thousands of dollars a month in this field? It is very possible that you will barely make a few hundred when you are first starting out. There is no guarantee of a paycheck in this field. If you do not provide quality work, you probably will not have many c

What is the problem? There just isn’t enough of it going around. It’s too bad that it can’t be more like cold and flu season- impossible to avoid. I am constantly disappointed with the lack of care businesses take with their customers. If I’m paying for a product or service, I expect a certain amount of support to go along with it. Is it really too much to ask?What can you, as a business owner, d

But dictionaries don’t lie. And I think the big idea behind schmoozing has to do with attitude. After all, approachability starts in your mind.
Therefore, I’d like to offer the following list:
Four Ways to Avoid Being Labeled as a Schmoozer
1. Don’t monopolize the conversation. You were born with two ears and one mouth. Use them proportionately. Ask creative, fun and interesting questions like, “What’s the best part about your job?” Then be quiet.
2. Slow down. Walk, talk and move between conversations at a casual, relaxed pace. Make it easy for someone to get your attention. Don’t hop from person to person like a politician.
3. Exit gracefully. After talking to someone for a few minutes, conclude your conversation commensurate with the connection you’ve just made, i.e., “I’m sure we’ll talk again later tonight,” “I’ll drop you an email and we can talk more about it,” “Let’s find a good time for both of us when we can continue this conversation,” or “I’m sure we both want to meet other people here too, so I’ll let ya go for now!”
4. Sit down. Take a break. Relax. Watch the room. Let people come to YOU for a change. Remember, approachability is a two way street: you’re both the approach-ER and the approach-EE.
