Networking 101 - It’s How You Play the Game
By Nikki Viljoen of N Viljoen Consulting (Pty) Ltd
In a democratic society, the majority rules. Networking is no different and in Networking the majority of people are extroverts, so it stands to reason that Networking rules are made by the extroverts and it is therefore incumbent on introverts to just fit in.
There is no doubt in my mind at all, that Networking is not only the key to unlocking opportunities, it is fundamental to the well being of any small company.
It’s all about how you Network and how well you play the game. It’s about being the best that you can be and about the sharing of ideas and experience.
It’s about building relationships and being reciprocal. It’s about getting up off your rear end and getting things done, rather than waiting for someone else to do it for you or worse, wondering what the hell happened.
So get out there, Network, Network, Network and then Network some more. Done correctly it will take your business to greater heights.
