The Power of Networking

Networking in its simplest form is building relationships. Wikipedia defines “Networking” as:

a socioeconomic business activity by which business people and entrepreneurs meet to form business relationships and to recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities, share information and seek potential partners for ventures.

Having an extensive network of business partners makes completing business tasks easier and more efficient. Established relationships provide many perks and benefits. While working with your network, communication lines are established and decision makers are easily accessed. Negotiations tend to be easier and return business is often given the best pricing options available. Timelines and expectations are known when working with your network partners.

Having an extensive network makes you prepared to overcome challenges as they present themselves. Need uniforms or tchotchkes for an upcoming event on a shortened timeline. Call your local screen-printer that you have used previously. Have your phones been on the fritz? Call the cell phone number of your telecommunications expert on their personal cell phone. Are you fed up with your point of sale system charging you outrageous fees? Call your POS rep and get the best rates possible. Is your parking lot covered in snow and there’s no plow in sight? Text your local landscaper and have a plow there within the hour.

Networking with other small businesses allows for you to support small businesses. And the icing on the cake is that these relationships are mutually beneficial as it is common practice for leads and business to be returned.
