How do you view business networking? Do you consider it a valuable use of your time or do you feel, as many do, that networking is a ‘waste of time?’
Is it possible you have negative perceptions of business networking because you’re not sure of what methods to use to get the best results? How much time do you spend beforehand planning for success at networking events? How effectively are you seizing opportunities to build relationships?
Bianca Moreiras believes that it’s important to network because, “…quite simply, it works. Whether you are looking to get promoted, find clients/customers, or be educated on a product or service, the best way to obtain a great result is to network. Every individual you meet has a different level of knowledge that they bring to the table. People have a genuine need to help others. Never underestimate the value of networking at any level.”
She recommends, “Do a little homework and research before engaging with any group business or personally. Time is money and unless there is synergy and commonality, move on.”

I love the “find connections” function, as well. Never thought beyond connecting to ask for a coffee meeting. Great idea!
BTW: Loved the smiles in the voices. Really appreciated that!
