Plenty of people network but couple of reap the rewards of zeroing in on their potential when it comes to networking. Right here are some suggestions to help fill the gap between where you're now and exactly where you can be.

Be Generous- Give without expectations and you will probably be shocked at how it returns to you. It might not come from the same supply but a brand new client, referral, or opportunity will show up due to your efforts.

Be Consistent- As in marketing, the more constant your networking efforts the greater productive they become. Jay Conrad Levinson of Guerilla Advertising mentioned, "I hate to admit this, but mediocre advertising with dedication works much better than outstanding marketing with out dedication."

Know & Clarify WIIFT- When creating your introduction clarify who your target market is and "what's in it for them". Sell benefits. Verizon sells wireless phone service but sells it when you believe they never stop working to fill your phone service needs. "Can you hear me now?"

Get Involved- Getting involved puts you in a constant position of visibility.

Be a Powerful Resource & Advocate for Others- Expand your network and be an advocate for others. Use your networking resources to hook up people you know with others. What goes around comes around

Learn the Needs of Others then Assist Fill Those Needs- Can your business fill their needs? Who do you know who can? Either way you have a win/win situation.

Build the Know- Like- Trust Factor- Building relationships is much more important than collecting tons of leads. Think quality vs. quantity. Connect deeper vs. on the surface.

It's More Important to Receive Business Cards than Hand Them Out- This puts you in a position to be able to follow up.

Consistently Follow- Up- It's not enough to have a community. Follow up and continue developing your relationships and community. Have a good reason to follow up or ask "how can I assist you?"

Develop Advocates- Build relationships with Centers of Influence who connect with your ideal client or customer. Offer incentives for referrals or provide great benefits.

Be Curious- The 6 Degrees of Separation Theory states that we are only 6 people away from finding out anything we need to know. Be curious and you will probably be surprised at what individuals, resources, and information are at your finger suggestions.

Develop You- You can grow your business as big as you can grow yourself. Start there! To shift into action choose one tip to focus on for a week and see what new results arrive your way. Then try on another and so on. Before you know it your networking attempts will probably be paving your way to success.
