Networking - Worth It?

The simple answer to the question 'Is networking locally worth it?' is yes. But the thing to remember with networking is that it's not just about getting business directly, it's about getting your name and your companies name out there.

When I started in my role at MSO 11 months ago, I was nervous of the concept of Networking as it really was about walking into a room and talking to as many people as you possibly could and getting some real connections. But as the role has taken me to some of the best places I could only have dreamed about I can now look back and say that without that networking, I wouldn't be who I am today.

Of course growing up with theatre and drama - talking to people has never really been a issue. But it still made me nervous. To do day - the networking is my favourite part of my job and I love meeting new, like minded people who understand this thirst for networking.

I have made some great connections through my time at MSO, and would consider a lot of them friends. My connections with local businesses and professionals has helped me not only make sales but also has helped me get the name of MSO out there.

Would I recommend it? WOULD I HECK! Yes, I would recommend doing whatever you can to meet new people, make new friends and build a group of people close by to you.
