Founder of ECUK Alexander Jarvis.
When I began my networking journey, I attended any & all networking events as time permitted. My friends used to joke that I would attend the opening of an envelope. Today I am much more strategic in my networking endeavors. I discovered which events & organizations gave me the best return on my investment of time as well as how to be an effective, pro networker.
In order to know where to begin you must first understand what networking is & why it is important to grow your business. Networking in its purest form is simply talking to people, making connections developing rapport to grow our circle of influence. Business networking is essentially the same except that our primary objective in business networking is to help us grow our businesses. For most of us, building a network means meeting people we can do business with or who will do business with us, or refer people who will do business with us, are our ultimate goals.
In fact, some of the best networks are those created by people who own & run their own businesses. When you create valuable networking relationships, you build them on a foundation of mutual trust, sharing knowledge, experiences & resources to help one another grow your businesses by either referring one another or doing business directly with one another.
It works like this: If you do a good job, one customer might tell three to five of her colleagues, family and friends about you. Whereas, when you build a network of say 10 to 20 strong advocates, they may each tell only one person about your, however your “exposure” is now more than doubled – With the right network, the ultimate in “word of mouth” marketing takes place. You promote your network, and your network promotes you.
