Building Relationships
Networking is more about farming connections with new contacts than hunting for them. People want to do business with people they know and trust. It’s about cultivating those relationships.
06
Accountability
If you want to have a powerful personal network, you must have accountability. Otherwise, it becomes a social group.
07
Recognition
It’s important to recognize those who are contributing.
