How Do You Network Effectively? All the people we work with would most likely resonate with the other people that we would work with, so start networking with the people that you have to spend most of your time with. Network with your family, network with your employees, network with your clients. Start a client monthly club, get your best clients in, have some fun and ask some questions. Because you've got association, it's a very relaxed, non prospective type process. To Grow a Beautiful Tree, You Need to Cull It When you start a business, you take what you get in the beginning and then you get 10 clients and then 20 and you just grow. However, no matter what you do, you're not going to get full growth out of all of them or be in a relationship growth opportunity. There will come a point where you start getting efficiency of time, cost of products and processing so it's best to bite the bullet. But don't just get rid of them. Find another player and offer them the client list. Know Your Battles and Where You Want to Be Martin also shares, “I found that I've been happy to be involved in associations where I make a contribution to help that organisation do something out of purpose. I’m far gone from just going to a meet club or having some time together. I'd rather choose to spend time with the people that I've already got a relationship with, have built it over the years, and have a defined purpose over that particular deep existing relationship— and that takes time. I've had relationships with men and women that I've known for over 30 years. Be Social With Us! https://dorksdelivered.com.au/business-tips/business-networking
