The Power of Networking for Your Career and Business

Networking is the art of creating and maintaining relationships that have the potential of benefiting you in the future—be it in your professional life or personal.

WHY IS NETWORKING CRUCIAL FOR BUSINESS GROWTH?

Mutual confidence is the foundation of all satisfactory human relationships. Business relationships are based on the thought of sharing experiences and the idea of mutual growth.  Confidence is often developed gradually as those involved in the relationship commit themselves to each other's business goals.

The old saying, ‘it is not what you know, but who you know is vital’.  People do business with you if they know, like and trust you. Networking (whether face to face at events or through social media) provide prospective clients with an opportunity to get to know you.

Although trust and confidence are the basic underpinnings of all successful relationships they are fragile and they take work.
