Do you believe so?
This is what networkers believe. Networkers are people who meet people on a regular basis. Not occasionally. Not only when they have the opportunity.
And when they meet them, they do not forget about them. They put their calling cards in a card case neatly. They take note of what they do and quickly associate the name and the business. They send an email or an SMS immediately after the acquaintance. And they keep in touch long after the first meeting.
Networkers build relationships–business first, personal second. They are disciplined. They come on time to networking functions. Their attendance is 100%. If there are fees to pay, they pay diligently. They know the value of the money they spend on networking meetings–more business!
A networker goes around exchanging cards with everyone in the room, introduces himself, and his business. He throws a question at a fellow networker to start the conversation. He listens intently to the other talk about his own business. He politely excuses himself to exchange cards with the next person.
And when he is finished meeting everyone in the room, he sits quietly and thinks about how he can help them grow their business. He thinks about referrals that he can give them. He is astonished that there is plenty for everyone. His own contact list running to the hundreds is a vast network of people whom he can refer. When he does this, he knows that what he gives will come back to him a hundredfold.
Imagine when networks are linked with other networks–a web of networks! Business has no where to go but up.
There is a networking event happening on the 27th of June 2007. On a Wednesday, witness the mingling of networkers and networkers-to-be as early as 7:00 am in the Magellan Room of Discovery Suites on ADB Avenue in Ortigas. Discover the secret of networking, word-of-mouth marketing, and referral business.
Give and you shall receive. Fair enough, huh?
