Greetings!

Networking is a word you hear often around chambers of commerce and the business community. What exactly is networking? Could it simply be meeting a new person? Yes, many times it is. But it's not just about the one person you meet; it's often more about their center of influence.  Who do they know that you need or want to know? Should networking be more formal and deliberate? Absolutely. You should have a purpose for attending a networking event before you even walk through the door. Be able to articulate in a sentence or two what type of business would be a good fit for you - medical? service industry? plumbers? graphic designers? You know your target market and who would be the best referral sources for you. So as you walk into a meeting, ask the host or registration staff if there are any contacts in the room who'd fit your ideal referral source. If yes, ask for an introduction. Networking is only as effective as you make it. Here's an article from Inc. Magazine for further thought.

 

Make it a great (and warm) week of connecting,
