Top 9 Benefits Of Networking In Business

I’ve been reading some articles and wanted to share this one about the Top 9 Benefits of Networking in Business. Here are the first 3.

While networking is crucial to everyone’s growth and development, it is crucial to no one more than the entrepreneur. Without solid relationships, small businesses will die. Building a successful business from the ground up takes a person’s entire time and energy, so it is vital to have a network of friends around you to support you.

1. Connections

You’ve probably heard the saying “It’s not what you know, but whom you know.” Running a successful business will require you to find people who can help with myriad aspects, from legal to compliance to payroll. Having pre-established connections with these people will give you a leg up when you need them.

2. Opportunities

By yourself, you have the ability to generate opportunities. Gathered with a group of other new and seasoned business owners, however, multiplies the business opportunities available. No matter what business you are in, networking will present you with the opportunity to embark on a joint venture, to join a partnership, to speak at a conference or write for a journal, to sell or buy a business; the opportunities presented are too numerous to list.

3. Referrals

The potential for an increase in business is likely the biggest reason many business owners decide that they should join a networking group. Not only are referrals generated through your network normally high-quality (and free!), but they may even be pre-qualified for you. In addition, the person who refers you may, at their discretion, give a recommendation for you. The hard work has been done; you only need to follow up with referrals in order to turn them into clients.
