We all know that the best business comes through word of mouth recommendation. But how many of us actively seek referrals through networking?
Many networkers use the scatter gun approach, handing business cards out to everyone they meet and hoping that one will land in the right place.
Clever networkers target their activities, making sure they reach the appropriate audience for their business.
The first step in finding referrals for your business should come through identifying which of your current contacts have links with the kind of businesses that you want to work with. Then you should actively network with those contacts and educate them about the services you supply so that they can spot opportunities for you.
Regular networking is vital to keep you and your company at the top of your contacts’ minds. In return, you will learn more about them and when the opportunity arises, can recommend them to your contacts.
