Networking is a necessary component of building your business and it’s the quickest way to forge relationships within the industry. Why is it important to network?
- It’s a great way to build your reputation – you’ll be seen and known as consistent.
- It’s a great way to reconnect with people you already know and meet people you don’t know.
- It’s a good place to practice your elevator pitch.
- Strong relationships start with shared experiences.
- People are more relaxed and have their guard down.
