Networking Should Lead To More Than A Collection Of Business Cards

One of the biggest lessons we have learned while building Klir Online is that business growth rarely happens in isolation.

Some of our best opportunities started with a simple conversation.

Not a sales pitch.

Not a formal meeting.

Just two people getting to know each other.

Our morning at Chamber Connect with New Art Exchange was another reminder that networking is not about speaking to everybody in the room. It is about building genuine relationships with the right people.

We also brought one of our Klir Online volunteers into the room.

That matters to us.

Professional networks should not only benefit the founder. Creating opportunities also means helping other people build confidence, connections and experience.

Make your next networking event count:

✓ Introduce yourself before selling your business
✓ Ask people what they are currently working on
✓ Connect online before you leave
✓ Follow up while the conversation is still fresh
✓ Look for ways to support before asking for something

Your networking to-do list:

☐ Attend one new event
☐ Reconnect with three old contacts
☐ Follow up with somebody you recently met
☐ Update your LinkedIn profile
☐ Arrange one coffee conversation

The event might last two hours.

The right relationship can last for years.
