The Real Power of Business Networking

Is there a better way to make new contacts than good old fashioned business networking?

Having a drink or two whilst turning contacts into connections. Then turning these connections into customers, suppliers and partners to work with. After all, people buy from people and they always will when it comes to business!

Although connecting online can be effective, it cannot truly compete with the ‘old fashioned’ business networking methods of face to face communication to build up trust. The feeling of getting a real sense of a person and their businesses reputation and companies values.

For people who are new to networking, the thought can be daunting which is why many may be a bit hesitant to go to their first event because it is something of the unknown. Everyone is in the same boat. Everyone is there to meet new people. There is no need for reluctance. After all, one event could provide an opportunity which could transform your business.

It is probably one of the most underestimated strategies to meet connections and get leads. The beginning of building strong, lasting relationships in a social environment.

Not only is it a great way to make business contacts, but a great way to learn more about different areas within yours and other industries. It brings together a community of like-minded people who all have a passion for what they believe in.

We wrote this article as we are passionate about business networking and have benefited ourselves from many forms of these events. This is the reason why we were the founding supporters of the Print Networking Club and believe strongly in the power of doing business and building relationships face to face.
