Don't Be in a Rush to Sell — Network Slow

Why patience and genuine relationships outperform aggressive sales tactics every time.

Many professionals walk into a networking room hoping to close a deal before the coffee goes cold. Eric Obwaka's advice is the opposite: network slow.

Relationships are built on trust, and trust takes time. When you lead with curiosity instead of a pitch, people remember you as someone who listened.

Practical steps: - Ask questions about the other person's business before talking about yours. - Follow up within 48 hours with something useful, not a sales offer. - Look for ways to introduce them to someone in your network.
