The Better Networker Men or Women

I found an intersting survey that is trying to answer which sex is the [tag]better networker[/tag], [tag]men or women[/tag] The survey is being presented by one of the world’s largest networking organizations, BNI. They are trying to determine how each sex approaches [tag]business networking[/tag].

Here is a portion of their press release courtesy of PRWeb:

“Which of the following is most important to you when referring business to others: Knowing a person’s character? Knowing a person’s level of competency? Knowing a person’s success? Or using their product or service yourself first?

How you answer that question may depend a lot on whether you are male or female. BNI, the world’s largest business networking organization, launched an innovative online survey to reveal how men and women approach business networking.

“This survey will help us determine how each gender tends to approach networking, and that will help us provide networkers worldwide with techniques and insights that help their effectiveness,” explains Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder & Chairman of BNI. “We’re still accepting survey responses, and plan to begin analyzing the data in early 2007. I believe the results will be eye-opening.”

I don’t know what the results will show, but I have to believe that the guys are in for a little trouble. We just tend to lack the communication skills of our fellow female bloggers and business partners. But I guess we will find out soon enough.
