If you're part of a networking group, what value have you found from it?

Networking might enable members to interact with one another to find complementary solutions to thrive. However, this requires a collaborative mind set with availability of time for all involved. In my view this same potential exists in solutions outlined in this animation. Of course we could benefit from both approaches as well concurrently.

I belong to several networking groups and have met a lot of people to find out about What they do and how we can help each other and our clients with their needs and goals to improve their lives!

If you are in the right networking group and you are approaching it from a generative mindset, there are many rewards. I have met interesting people whose initiatives I've supported and who I've referred when appropriate. I've learned, I've been inspired and I've gotten referrals that have turned into business. And I've made a few good friends too!

I look at social media as an on-going networking event and that is pretty exciting! The party never ends. :-)

Every day when you log on to your Facebook, for example, it is like being at a worldwide networking event. Facebook Groups are excellent for networking and building relationships with like-minded individuals and potential customers or prospects.

I often think gone are the days, for the most part, of going to a networking event, eating some hors d'oeuvres, and handing out and collecting a few business cards.

The virtual world allows us to develop quality relationships that can serve both parties now and in the future

In my entrepreneurial training and teachings, I share with people that the real power of any venture of a business nature or other is to build a network! 

Because once you build a network, you can move anything through it!

Networks are critically important and social media is a great place to align with the types of people, causes, events, etc. that you wish to build a network around. 

I have found that these networks are a place for us to support each other, encourage each other, learn from each other, and to grow.... to grow personally and to grow our reach and ultimately our businesses.

I even have an ebook about this if anyone is interested.

Networking groups have helped my Flooring Company tremendously !! The hardest part of doing business with me is finding me . No Fancy Showrooms or TV Commercials or any other types of Ads. exist so once you found me you will be rewarded with Mill Direct Pricing .

In my opinion, the advantage of joining a network group is to send customers to one another. 

I love my networking groups - not only ones I am a member of but the one I host as well. It provides a great opportunity to ask for advice, feedback on new items/services, finding well recommended assistance and more!

I have gained a lot of free advice and knowledge from these groups as well as customers for my organization. You can build strong relationships overtime and really show your value to a large group of people/business owners. 

I highly suggest joining some!

Pre COVID one of the values I appreciated withmy networking group is getting me out of my house once a week as I work form home. It has also been great over the years in helping be work ON my business and not just in it. There have been a lot of intangibles in addition to the referrals and actual dollars generated. With COVID, it has been great for my mental health as well. Having connections each week and having the support of fellow business owners has been great. As a travel advisor, no networking group could make travel happen for a while there, but having the network has helped things to open for me as they open up in the country and in the world.

Members of Networks are no open to elevating their consciousness, but they are pursuing growth and development that relies on elevating their consciousness. The mindset shift we need to understand how to understand and work with the BODY, MIND & SPIRIT dimensions of consciousness that nature uses to create the physical, psychological and spiritual expressions to support LIFE! Awakening to the New Paradigm is the bridge to the future. How many of us are ready to cross into the New Age?

I have been a member 2 networking groups for over a year The 360 Exchange www.the360exchange.com and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando hispanicchamberorlando.com  These 2 groups have been gold for us. Not just in referrals, but in personal development, information on the current business climate and changes through covid, marketing, and more.  That is where we discovered Alignable, and heard how other professionals were using it to connect.  I highly recommend you join a Networking Group for your personal and business development.
