Importance Of Connections And Networking On LinkedIn :)
In business, as in life, you can't go it alone. It's said that none of us are islands, but if we were each of us form a vast and interconnected archipelago. Bridges and boats stream traffic between all these islands and that traffic is largely information. If you cut yourself off from this flow of information, either purposely or by mistake, you do so at your own peril. Why? Because the island next to you is going to take those connections and the information they provide and use it to his or her advantage.
Networking is an essential element of every successful business. It provides you with contacts, leads, clients, partners, suppliers and much more. It carries your name and your business reputation further and more efficiently than most advertising. Most importantly, it is an endless source of profit, ideas collaboration, and support. If you are networking, you should do more. If you're not networking, you need to start. If you don't network, your business will stagnate and die.
When you're networking you need to keep couple of important points in mind.
First, a every social or professional engagement provide you with an opportunity to can network. There's o\en nothing more formal about it than an exchange of information and follow-up connection Remember, as a business owner you're always "on the clock", so to speak. Be ready to take advantage of a potentially lucrative networking situation should the opportunity arise.
Second, when you are networking treat people naturally, the way you'd want to be treated. Offer no strings advice. Often solving a problem for free generates more long-term profit than the cost of the advice or service. Also, listen more than you talk. Silence really can be golden when you take the time to hear what another person is saying.
Finally, always remember that honesty is the best policy. Don't promise something that you cannot produce. Don't be someone you're not in order to close a deal. Be yourself and watch those connections grow!
If You Want To Walk Fast, Walk Alone. But If You Want To Walk Far, Walk Together.
I wholeheartedly thanks to you all, for your part in my journey...
Kindest Regards

5 年Resume Advice Here is the most effective way to get resume advice. The best people to help you with your resume and job search are those involved in your career area. Call or visit the alumni relations department of your school (high school, college, etc) to arrange to meet and talk to alumni working in your career area locally. Also, call or visit the reference librarian at your local library to locate professional associations to which people in your career area belong, so that you can call or visit the leader and arrange to attend meetings to talk to people involved in your area of interest. This route will also bring you into direct contact with people who will be aware of employment opportunities in your area. Also, as the professional associations are of an international scope, this will help with international positions as well. These people are just waiting to help you. Do It In Person - People (Especially Potential Employers) will find the personal touch refreshing. You will find it rewarding.
