Professional relationship talents
Networking skills are the abilities that help someone build and maintain professional relationships.
These include making conversation with strangers, remembering names and details about people, following up after initial meetings, and knowing how to ask for introductions or favors without seeming pushy.
Good networking skills matter in business contexts where opportunities often come through personal connections rather than formal channels.
