Entrepreneurs of the Information Age must build contacts to survive in this world of intense competition.
This is a lightning fast, changing world. Business is negotiated in a fraction of a second.
The question is, how does a person that has just begun a business have access to such transactions?
The answer is……
Contacts
The average person knows 250 people and each one of those people knows 250 people. So, for each new person you meet you gain access to a potential new group of 62,500 people through one progression.
Mathematical Progression
250 X 250 = 62,500 62,500 X 250 = 5,625,000 5,625,000 X 250 = 3,906,250,000 3,906,250,000 X ……….. WOW!
The entire world’s population is connected
We are constantly being introduced to new people every day. Remember that each one of them represents 62,500+ potential clients and perhaps in many countries.
Networking is one of the most profitable activities a person could engage in
Simple Rule
Greet each new person with an openness to learn more about that person, a willingness to help, and an offer to stay in touch.
It pays to network at networking events, and to keep communication skills sharpened.
Networking is a 2 way street you receive according to what you give
Always ask for referrals at the conclusion of a successful business transaction.
There are hundreds of new contacts around you every day.
Watch for “Divine Appointments.”
Don’t miss opportunities to Network
BUSINESS NETWORKING is the process of creating a mutually beneficial relationship with the other business people and potential clients.
