When operating a small business, networking is certainly something that some business owners will shy away from and others will leap towards. It is thought that networking is key to becoming a successful entrepreneur as it allows you to build a bank of contacts, including potential customers and suppliers, employees or even investors. It can easily be seen as just another task on your to do list but it’s vital to see the value that it could bring to your business.
Throughout the years as technology has progressed there’s so much more to networking than meets the eye. Now there’s a number of free and easy to use digital platforms at the end of your fingertips. Even though entering digital networks may seem the easier option, nothing can replace building those all-important face to face relationships.
One of the most common issues people have with networking is confidence. Don’t let this shy you away from attending events in your industry. The first contact you make is always the hardest but in time you’ll build up a network of contacts and your confidence will soar. Of course you may face some setbacks but after all you’re only human so don’t take it personally.
