5 Steps To Developing An Effective Business Network by MyNaijaNaira(m): 9:02pm On Nov 24, 2014
If you follow my blog or posts on Nairaland, you will know that I like to share my knowledge and experience. Below is an excerpt from my most recent article 5 Steps to Developing an Effective Business Network.

What is Business Networking?
Business networking is a low cost method of marketing. It is used to build new business contacts through connecting with other like-minded individuals. The benefits of business marketing are that you can leverage your business contacts to help bring you a regular supply of new business. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It can be if done correctly, and you understand how to network in business. And on occasions you can almost see instant results. But because it involves relationship building, it can be a surprisingly complex process.

The importance of business networking
The importance of networking in business is massive, especially when working as an entrepreneur, or in a startup. It can be key to gaining your next project or pay check. Most importantly, networking is free. Industry specific events can ensure that you meet like-minded people. Relationships that you build whilst networking in this capacity can form the fundamental basis for your next business strategy, or could introduce you to your next business partner. It is hard to stress the importance and value of building and maintaining solid working relationships that often start through networking.

Here are some insights, and business networking tips that have helped me through the years.

1. Approach networking with a plan
It is important to understand your strengths and weaknesses. You should also identify your core activities, and map out your capacity as a business. Through this you can identify the work that has to be outsourced or carried out in partnership due to lack of capacity, expertise or non-value added activity. With this knowledge, you can be more specific about what type of networking events or activities you target. This will enable you to build up the required network of professionals that will help you move forward, and add value to your business.
