Are You Networking Enough?
Sunday November 8, 2009
Are your networking enough? If you answer, "yes" chances are you do not understand the value of business networking. No one can networking enough because the more you connect with others, the easier it will be to grow your business.
Does online networking count? Yes! But it does not take the place of good ol' fashioned face-to-face networking.
If you do not know of any biz networks in your area, start by trying BusinessNetwork.MeetUp.com, a free online service that allows you to start a networking group, or locate existing networks in your area.
If you need more convincing as to why you should get out there and mingle, or some great ideas on how to maxmize your networking experience:
Once you realise how to generate introductions for your business an others through networking you never look back. I was out on Friday and was asked for assistance by someone I had just met and was able to connect them with someone I met at a party on Saturday. They will both benefit and I can now ask them both to help me in return.
Take care,
Jason
No, you certainly cannot network enough. You’re not networking for what you need today, you’re networking for what you may need in the future.
