Network for Quality, Not Quantity

Networking…

As anyone in business knows, it’s all about your network.

And that means sometimes boldly embracing dreaded ‘networking’ events. And while some people make it look so easy, others simply cringe at the thought of entering a room full of people and saying ‘hello’ to a complete stranger.

But remember this: networking is more about building real relationships with a person rather than the amassing a multitude of connections.

And you don’t have to look very far for events, because your local Chamber is one of the best places for networking. They have events regularly because they are in the business of supporting business. You can check out the local Chambers’ events throughout Atlantic Canada here: http://www.atlanticchamber.ca/list

But in the meantime, for those who need a little help with the subtle art of networking effectively for quality connections, here’s a great article I found with some simple tips that can make you a Networking Pro in no time. https://muse.cm/1gOv0Ja

And remember, if you’re really cringing at the prospect of networking, just touch base with the Chamber and tell them your new, any one of the team can always help by introducing you to a few people at the event.
