The Importance of Networking

It’s more than schmoozing…
There are many different ideas when it comes to Networking. Many people have found new jobs while at a neighborhood event, playing golf or attending a child’s sporting event. Just by chatting with the person that you are with can equate into something positive. Some people hear of networking and think of just passing out your business cards or going to a job fair. It really doesn’t have to be that formal. Have a couple of initial questions that you can ask anyone and then tailor them to what that person or group does for work. Who doesn’t like to talk about the company that they work for?
Here are a couple tips to keep in mind when you are networking with others..
• Keep emails short and to the point
• You don’t need to know the most people, just the right people
• Go beyond your industry
• Ask if people want to be connected
• Make it a point to follow up
• Develop the habit of introducing people
• Don’t have any expectations
• Use social sites like LinkedIn or Facebook
It is that easy.. now get out there and talk it up.. The more people that know about Princeton Properties and what we have to offer, the more profitable we will all be!
