What is Business Networking? It is a socioeconomic business activity by which business people and entrepreneurs meet to form business relationships and to recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities, share information and seek potential partners for ventures.

Business Networking is essential for growing and maintaining your business. This is an important way to gain new clients. We have all these platforms for networking such as LinkedIn and Facebook. The amazing benefits to these platforms and business networking on them is that it does not matter what niche or type of small business you have. Networking with these platforms will only benefit your business.

Making Connections- Getting into niche groups, interacting and making better conversation, learning from others, asking questions will help created more connections for your business.

Staying Current- Business is always changing. Talking with others in your field will help you stay updated with new ideas, and methods for your business.

Stand Out- Developing more relationships and networking is a way to make you and your business stand out from the competition.

Building Character- Helping others when they need help, learning to become a better speaker and listener will promote you and make you feel good.

Networking on social media will help raise your profile. LinkedIn is a great platform for just that. There are LinkedIn meets now that bring people together by networking. Facebook now has Facebook TV and groups to join or create your own. Being engaged with others will greatly benefit your business as well as yourself.

Old fashion networking is still very popular. Meeting with local businesses face to face and with a hand shake. Join local business groups to network.

Attend as many conferences as you can. Besides learning from the speakers at conventions, another great way is to connect with the audience members. ( Tip- they are just as much afraid of you as you are them.) Keep this in mind because someone needs to engage the conversation.

Have A Great Day!
