Growing my professional network is incredibly important to me and is the bloodline of my business. There are a number of ways I go about it
- Take a genuine interest in people and businesses
- Always thinking about developing long-term relationships
- Following up when I connect with someone
- Giving as well as taking
- Being a good listener
- Seeking to understand rather than be understood
- Asking questions and never being afraid to say I don’t understand something
- Making my presence visible by attending network events, being an active participant in committees/business groups
Sounds simple right? It can be. I love connecting with people and thoroughly enjoy what I do.
