Growing Your Business Through Networking

What is your intent when you attend an networking event? Is it to give or to get? Is it to meet as many people as possible or just a handful? Networking is about giving. It's about learning as much as possible about the person you're talking to. Here are some suggestions next time you go attend a networking event:
1. Meet a few people. In order to really get to know a person, it takes an investment of your time. Take the time.
2. Set an intention. Decide that you will meet X number of people.
3. Find out as much as you can about them. Ask them about their business. Find out how you can help them.
4. Follow-up. Follow-up with a note within 24-48 hours.
5. Connect them with other people who might be interested in their product or service.

When you approach networking from a standpoint of helping others succeed in their business, you will, too.

Dress up and Step Up!
