As an introvert, I always used to shy away from networking
(pun intended!).
But in my Corporate career, I soon learned that if you want to get anywhere in business, you have to get out and network.
It took me years of study, trial, error and tears to learn how to network comfortably and successfully, but I got there. Now people often comment on how they would love to network with my confidence (little do they know how nervous I actually feel!).
Having a strong network can do so much more for you besides simply expanding contact list. It can…
Accelerate your business building. As people get to know and trust you, so they are more likely to refer you to others, take a look at your products/service and take a look at your business opportunity.
Help you move people from cold to warm market quickly.
Help you find new opportunities to raise your profile, and
Give you greater inspiration, motivation and insights to help you achieve more success than you thought possible.
If you don’t have a strong network yet – here’s how to start!
Get out there!
The best way to build a network is to get out there and meet people. This needn’t be at specific networking events – though these are of course a great place to start.
You can also go to events and classes that match your interests and passions or try something you’ve always wanted to do: a language, woodwork or painting class for example.
