What is Networking?

The most powerful people aren't necessarily those with the biggest titles but rather those with the biggest Rolodex files”contacts” list. Our power comes when we can pick up the phone and make things happen for people.

Networking is the art of building alliances. It is an essential skill for most business people, but especially for entrepreneurs. The best networkers have savvy, common sense. It's not a work style, it's a lifestyle. Some of the best networkers don't even know they're networking. They're just out there sharing ideas, sharing themselves.

 

What Networking Isn't

Networking isn't a process of making cold-calls to people you don't know.

It's talking to people you do know or asking them to introduce you to others.

Networking does not have to be a carefully-choreographed process of meeting and greeting people. It's much better done on a more informal basis.

Most importantly remember that networking is always a two-way street. It must benefit both persons to be most effective, so as you ask your network for help when you need be prepared to return the favour when asked.
