Why Should You Network?

Last week we talked about What Is Networking – a friendly reminder –
This week Why should you network?
Most of us network to raise our visibility and to increase our business.  Did you know that 70 percent of jobs are found through networking?  Even more interesting is that referrals generate 80 percent more results than cold calling.  That’s because when you build a new relationship, you open the door to do business.  Building referrals and direct business is just good business sense.
If you could tap into a knowledge base of 50 plus years of business experience, would you?  Well with an established business network, you can. Your personal network can provide an awesome opportunity and a stable support system.
Does it take time??   YES  Is it worth it   DEFINATELY
