Networking

Hello, again

I’ve spoken before about networking, and how it’s a great way to give yourself the best chance of getting referrals, joint ventures and all kinds of other opportunities.

All that is true, but there’s one thing I probably haven’t mentioned before, and ace marketer (and networker) John Carlton has today reminded me of this:

It’s actually good fun.

In fact, it’s one of the best things about being in business, especially if your business means working from home or in a small office. Getting out and about can keep you sane, keep you more active (how easy is it to sit at your desk for hours without moving?). Just as importantly, of course, it can keep you in business.

A lot of our work comes through networking and referrals. And doing business is a pleasure when you can do so much of it by spending time with real people.

If you’re nervous about the prospect of networking (or anything else), we can even help you with that: read HERE about Thought Field Therapy – weird as it may sound it works in over ninety percent of cases. See: http://www.HelpandIdeas.com/overcoming.html

But the key is to get to events and make yourself and your business known. Show an interest in what other people do, rather than trying to ‘sell’ to everyone else, and you will reap the rewards –and probably have fun, too.

Until next time
