Remember that everyone is a potential referral source. The more people you come into contact with, the higher your probability of success. Don't rule out people who are indirectly related to what you want to achieve. They may be a valuable source of knowledge or advice, or may be able to introduce you others who want to refer your business.

 

Most importantly, "You have to give to get." The best net workers think first about what they can do for those people with whom they would like to form or strengthen a professional relationship. They understand their businesses, who their clients are and how they differ from their competitors. It is much easier to call people if you have something to offer them. Even if you do not have a referral you may have information about a prospective client, an existing client, or even about competitors.

Networking is the trend for the way we should conduct our businesses. The economics of soliciting leads or prospects from advertising, direct mail and telemarketing are rapidly rising. Due to these escalating costs, many organizations utilizing these methods are obviously consumed more with volume, rather than quality, of leads generated. Voluminous, and often unqualified, leads require more time cost more and often result in fewer actual solid prospects. “Word-of-mouth” advertising has always been the most effective tool for promoting a business. A personal endorsement from a professional colleague is significantly more meaningful and productive than impersonal advertising, and more and more professionals are truly recognizing the benefits and advantages of networking!
