#networkingworkshops - Cathy Weaver

This is a question many Networkers always bring to the table in a private convo or in a Networking Workshop, "I Network ALL THE TIME and my business is still not where I would like it to be ???" As you might imagine, the answer is simple, yet complex !!! ANY group works if YOU work the group !!! If you are effective Networker, as in a person whose purpose is to grow one's business via social Networking, you can Network effectively at the grocery store, at Church, at a SOCCER GAME !!! The important concept to remember is Networking means TALKING, so basically, each of us is a great Networker !!! NOW what you DO with that TALKING is where the rubber meets the road ... How effective are you at following up with that new friend/prospect ??? How many times will you meet before you put the hammer down regarding your product or service ??? What do you have to offer that this person NEEDS and how quickly DO they need it ??? As I said, Networking is simple yet complex - how hard YOU choose to work is what makes the difference on the journey to success !!! If your Networking skills are not where you would like them to be, my book, Networking On Steroids, may be your answer. If you need to improve how effective you ARE at Networking, my book may be your answer. If your team/staff are the Master Networkers in your company, you may already be reaping the benefits of their expertise. STEP OUTSIDE THAT BOX !!!
