Importance of business growth through ‘networking’
I don’t want to pass up the opportunity to share an article I read about the importance of business growth through ‘networking’. Below are a few highlights:
For SMEs, networking is one of the essential tools to grow their business. No matter what business stage you are at—looking for investors, hiring new talents, finding your dream assignment — having the right to connect with the right people is most essential. Furthermore, social media allows savvy business owners and entrepreneurs to grow their networks without even leaving their offices or homes.
Benefits of business networking
- New business leads
When people start noticing you, it opens the door for new opportunities. This is the most obvious benefit of networking. At GlobalLinker, you can make 300,000+ businesses notice you by updating your profile and starting a discussion.
- New ideas and perspective
Networking can be an excellent source of new ideas and perspectives, and networking is engaging with different people from different backgrounds. Even a simple conversation can lead to new business ideas, new insights, and so much more. At times it can be challenging to talk to every individual, eases it for you with their groups created based on industries and interests.
- Strong support network
In hard times, when in need of help, the strong network pays off. The connections you make career opportunities during rough times, give you resources when you face a challenge, and so much more.
Businesses are built on networking. Your network is the greatest asset in any business. Have you done what you can to build the best possible network? After all, it is rightly said that your ‘network’ is your ‘net worth.’ The right time to start networking is now!
