What’s the Definition of Networking?

It’s About Building Contacts and Connections for Your Business

A definition of networking includes understanding the importance of referrals and building strong relationships to increase business. Business networking is about building powerful connections with associates and potential clients.

Effective Business Networking Builds Business

Focused Networking ™ Ltd. is unique in the personal way business is conducted amongst the members, and in how referrals are given to clients. The local business network members develop relationships and associations between themselves; as well as develop relationships with clients and other contacts.

When dealing with a member of the network, clients are not just getting a business transaction of goods or services, they receive more: the value-added component called relationship.

Members within our network are recognized for knowing how to introduce themselves effectively at events – we teach you how to do that. Our members are taught how to ask questions, listen and see how they can help other people instead of working the room with a “what’s in it for me” approach. By helping others, network members develop strong and successful relationships.

We build successful networks in our communities; we can help you build a network in your community. We are also beginning to build online communities and online business networks.

• An opportunity to present to the group: your company profile, a spotlight of your services or product, a spotlight with your complementary industries
• Networking exercises to build stronger relationships
• Strategic alliances and how to work with them effectively
