Business networking can help build new relationships and generate opportunities. It?s relatively low cost financially, but involves a time commitment.
The benefits can be significant; not only will you meet like-minded people and learn from their success, but you?ll also increase your confidence and generate referrals.
There are many business networks around so it?s important to know what you wish to achieve. Some groups are based on learning, support or volunteering rather than strictly making business connections. Research the group?s goals, vision and expected commitment levels, then visit to see if it?s the right fit for you.
To get the most out of networking, you need to have a clear understanding of your business and be able to communicate effectively. Think about what you do and why, your point of difference and who your target customer is.
Keep in mind that networking is about building trust and relationships and seeing how you can help others. You?ll stand out and be remembered if you?re known as a resource for suggestions, ideas and contacts.
