What to Know about Networking
By: Ashley Edwards, Director of Marketing & Communications, SHRCCI
Networking is a crucial part of professional or personal growth. It is constantly changing and developing new ways to exchange information or ideas with others who can potentially benefit you or your business. While social media networking is becoming a bigger phenomenon, we believe that it is key to balance out traditional and social media networking. It is important that companies are participating in both in order to reach all potential target audiences. One key goal to always have in mind while networking is to go beyond thinking, "What's in it for me?" and start considering, "How can I help?"
Networking is essentially building a trusting relationship with other professionals. It is a constant conversation so make sure you're not doing all of the talking. Listening is just as important because you may know someone that can help out the person you're connecting with. Make sure you're always connecting the dots. When you help someone out, her or she will be more willing to help you out.
