Networking is an essential part of building wealth.–Armstrong Williams
On Friday, I talked about how important it is to build your network. Today, I would like to talk about the importance of Developing Your Skills At Networking. One of the keys to creating more business is networking and the more effective you are at networking, the more effective you are at building a business.
There are some keys to effective networking. As we develop relationships, we need to remember that they must be mutually beneficial. The Law of Sowing and Reaping applies to networking. If you are always looking for ways to help others, they will look for ways to help you. It that’s not the case, then you need to find a new network. Work and help the ones that want to work and help you.
Another key to effective networking is to stay in touch and keep the relationships active. Schedule regular get togethers such as breakfast, lunch, or meet just for a cup of Java. Email articles that might be relevant to their career or interests they may have. Stay in regular contact.
Make sure you show your gratitude for your relationship with them. Thank them when they do something to help you grow your business. Maybe send them a card or a special gift if they did something special. Don’t forget to show your gratitude and appreciation.
Take time to understand the other person’s reasons for doing what they do. Find ways to help them achieve their goals and objectives. Remember the other person’s need for achievement. Provide guidance and leadership by sharing what you’ve learned over the years. Give them the benefit of your insight and experience.
Building a big network is one of the most effective ways to creating more business and Developing Your Skills At Networking is crucial to building a big network.
Have an awesome day.
