Understanding Networking, (part 1)
Understanding what networking involves is vital, you need to know about and be prepared for the hidden behind-the-scenes activities that make it all happen.
There is a lot to consider before rushing out and sending out something that could be considered spam, instead of a valuable networking opportunity.
You don't want people to work hard, or get confused and give up - jeopardizing your relationship or current campaign. want networking to be as effective and efficient as possible.
Your mind set should be focused on developing long-term relationships.
- Do you have time in your schedule or can you utilize staff (or family members) to handle it for you?
- Can you create a new page offering a list of networking ideas, and a list of potential reciprocation activities that they may want to choose from?
- What are your intentions, procedures and current campaigns?
Before starting out on a campaign, reflect on how your communications reflect your brand.
This can include:
- colour scheme
- design
- texture
- logo
- hyperlinks
- QR codes

- clean
- concise
- appealing
- uncluttered
