“watching your money going down the toilet!”

I’m sure business owners and investors can see where the originator is coming from in the current climate.

You may be getting board with people saying that Networking is the route to a better business and more sales? You might be doing this physically (working a room) or via a business networking site like LinkedIn - recommended and referred to by Phil in previous blogs.

But it doesn’t necessarily work - in which case you get demotivated and potentially miss an opportunity!

Effective use of networking as a business tool primarily needs there to be a fit (something in common - not always obvious) with the person or organisation you meet. If your satisfied you’ve filtered these people from the contacts you’ve made then you must be prepared to help them and work at the relationship. It matters. Always do what you say you’ll do. Develop a meaningful and productive relationship.

If you do that, then be prepared for networking to work for you and your business.
