What About Networking (Part 3) - 12/08/06
WHY: I’m going to spend less time on these last two areas, because I’ve touched on them in more detail already. Why do I want to network? It helps my business. Even if it isn’t my strength, in the long run, meeting people on a regular basis, building relationships with them, exchanging referrals, developing friendships over time all will enrich me, which will have a positive impact on my business. I’m reminding myself here, that I don’t know what I will need from whom in the future. So,if I haven’t set up a good networking base, I might miss an important opportunity, tool or person. How will I know what I missed or what I could have learned, if I don’t continue to network? What I do know from discussing this matter with other business owners is that networking can help me contact potential clients, find clients, gain recognition for my business and continue to expand my database.
