The Networking Myth: Why Quality Beats Quantity Every Time

In the world of professional networking, we often hear, “The bigger your network, the better.” But is that really true?

I believe quality always beats quantity when it comes to building a meaningful network. Here's why:

?? More Isn’t Always Better: A large network might look impressive, but how many of those connections are meaningful? Depth trumps numbers when it comes to opportunities and collaboration.

?? Meaningful Relationships Matter: The most impactful professional relationships often come from genuine interactions—not just exchanging business cards or clicking “Connect.”

?? How to Build Quality Connections:

• Show genuine interest in others’ goals.
• Stay consistent with follow-ups.
• Offer help without expecting immediate returns.

In my experience, fewer, stronger connections can lead to mentorship, career growth, and lasting partnerships.
