The best laid plans you may have to go to a Thursday chamber or rotary networking event falls by the wayside when a 'SBC' (small business crisis) comes up and you decide you are just too busy to take the two hours out of your week to go network. Big mistake. These events are where new business relationships are just waiting for you! Here is a great tip to help you keep the commitment. Book networking events out as far as you can. Google 'calendar of events' in your area, and spend some time on the web and you will find new and interesting networking events that you may never have even considered before! Then--and this is key-- invite someone to come with you. Examples: a potential client, a tag teammate (someone to 'work the pond' with you) or a customer who you want to thank for their business. If you invite someone you are less likely to cancel. Plus if you go with someone you get to introduce them to your network and visa versa. Gayle Hallgren-Rezac is co-author of WORK THE POND!
