This is the Time to Network!
March 16, 2009 by Amir Watynski
Personal Networking should always be a part of your marketing plan, but now more than ever this is THE time to get out there and network! Join your local chamber, or referral group such as BNI. BNI is the largest referral and business networking organization in the world.
What I like so much about this organization is its core philisosphy: Givers Gain. In other words, give genuinely, and eventually it will come back to help you. BNI has an exclusivity rule, so only one person per profession is allowed. They have weekly meetings where referrals are passed around, and encourage you to have one-to-one meetings with your fellow members, to help you get to know eachother better and be better able to send eachother referrals.
