I've mentioned the Networking Catch 22 before. How do you demonstrate your expertise & give value to someone who will not be your customer?
At the Reading NRG Event last week Hanif Khan of Video Shoot Productions shot a number of videos for people to use. He showcased what he does, gave us some value and has built real trust trust in him and his service.
He even posted the video he did for me on Youtube!

Remember to say thank you
I received an email from a close networking contact today.
At one of our meetings a couple of months ago we had recognised a referral opportunity for him. I made the initial introduction and that has led to a great opportunity.
Do you always thank your referrers and introducers and keep them informed?
Good Networking!

Networking and Business Isolation
I was speaking to someone this morning who sits on one of the Bank of England advisory sub committees. She shared the prediction that 2008 would see many business owners feeling increasingly isolated.
In a business networking survey we conducted last year the feeling of being 'isolated in business' was one of the top three reasons given for joining a Business Network. It's lonely at the top!
Your network provides you with great support in addition to business. Take some time to assess if you have the complete support, resource and advocate networks you need around you. Start now to build your network where you have any holes and continue to nurture those existing relationships. If you only start to make and maintain the right connections when you really need them that may well be too late.
