Business networking is something that we all know we have to do….but do we know how to do it? Often, visions of large groups of people mingling, handing out cards comes to mind. But those chamber after hours are only one way to connect with potential clients.
Start thinking about networking as something that you do every day, not just a specific activity. Keep your cards handy and hand them out when an opportunity presents itself. When you meet someone in a social setting and would like to connect again, use your business card to pass along your contact information. You never know when the opportunity will arise, so keep those cards handy!
