Networking is a powerful, highly effective and low-cost way to build awareness of your business, develop strong relationships and generate new leads and clients.
Every business should be employing networking in their marketing efforts.
Requiring little in terms of investment other than time, it’s especially valuable for start-ups and new ventures where budgets may be limited.
When it’s done correctly, networking is the easiest and most natural way to grow a business. But despite this, many owners are either not using networking effectively or not using it at all. Are you one of them?
If you’re networking but not getting results, perhaps it’s because you’re not approaching it strategically, or you’re not sure how to behave in a networking environment.
Perhaps you’re not networking at all – either because you’ve tried it, and had a bad experience, or because the thought of promoting your business to a room full of strangers brings you out in a cold sweat. Maybe you’re cynical about the effectiveness of networking, or, if you’ve left the corporate world to set up on your own, it might be that the concept of networking is alien to you.
Although networking has temporarily moved online during COVID-19, this has only served to emphasise the power of the face to face medium. It will be back again soon, and in the meanwhile, virtual networking requires the same structured approach and calls for the same skills.
At Inca, we know networking works. It’s an integral component of our marketing strategy, and directly or indirectly, it’s helped us to acquire virtually every client we’re working with today
In our October webinar, How to Grow Your Business Through Networking, our very own Amy Russell will explain how to get results from networking. And don’t worry if nerves have been holding you back, she’ll be sharing advice and tips to help you overcome them.
