Business Networking…(any why its maybe NOTworking)

Are you business networking? Is it working for you ?

Do you find sometimes that it takes longer than you expected?

Is getting business a long haul?

Are you paying your dues, turning up, saying your bit and

still nothing?

So here’s the question? Are you Networking …

Or NetWORKing

Many business owners go to events and turn up…

Say their piece, swap business cards

and then go back to their business until the next event….

Maybe an email or two in between….

The thing is , that’s not enough!

Business Networking is just that…..

NetWORKING. It need’s WORK….

After any event the following is essential

Keep notes from the meeting (do you take notes?)

Contact the people you met….

Keep in touch…..

…… regularly

Look to connect others…

Who did they want to speak to? Did you find out?

Meet in betweenHave a coffee

Share your knowledge

Networking is just that…It’s a form of WORKING ….

It takes following up…Consistency …

Focus …

You need to show your hand..

Show others how supportive YOU are…..

What goes around comes around….

When did you last truly NetWORK?

What do you have to lose?

Give it a go!
