Over the past seven years, networking has been a cornerstone of Brunton Media's growth. Networking helps introduce your business to others in an authentic way, creating connections that can lead to lasting partnerships. But why should networking matter to you??

Networking for Success: Why Who You Know Matters More Than What You Know

Networking isn’t just about what you know; it’s about who you know. Once you have a strong product or service, building relationships is key. Connecting with like-minded individuals in your field can open doors you may not have realized existed.

When I started, networking felt intimidating, especially as an introvert. But by pushing myself outside my comfort zone, I not only grew my business but developed personally too. For those just getting started, my advice is to ease into conversations by asking others about their business or remembering small details they share. This shows genuine interest, which people value.?

Building Connections, Not Just Clients: The Power of Patience in Networking?

Also, remember not to hard-sell. Focus on relationship-building rather than pushing a sale right away. I’ve found that a casual coffee chat is a great next step to discuss possible collaborations in a low-pressure setting.

Finally, patience is essential. Building meaningful connections takes time, but it’s worth the investment. So enjoy the journey, keep connecting, and remember to believe in what you’re doing—others will too.
