Networking is more than going to meetings or an event, eating dinner and having a drink while visiting with your colleagues; it is a significant and crucial action of building relationships and personal growth while meeting new connections and creating a structure of future opportunities.

Remember you’re not there to sell your product or services, that is defiantly not what networking is about.  Shaping your relationships and business means a lot of work and time invested into learning about people not selling your own services and products. A large part of your time will be consisted of gaining their trust and showing that you are a honest business person that they would want to conduct business with in the future. 

Four Rules  1. Get Noticed  2. Be Visible  3. Gain Connections  4. Share Knowledge
