Networking is an important part of building your professional persona. But you need to be careful that you are not over networking yourself.
Making connections to new people should be natural and cannot be forced. If you are having trouble writing an introductory email to a possible networking target, it may indicate that you really don’t know this person well enough. Take time and develop your personal relationship first. Once a trust is established, the opportunities for enhancing each other’s professional lives will reveal themselves.
Key Takeaways:
- If you’re struggling with networking it could mean you don’t understand how your product can help the other party.
- Don’t ignore your business by spending all your time networking. Grow your product.
- When you really can’t stand networking, step back and focus on trusted customers.
