Productive Networking
As part of the ongoing More Than a Few Words podcast, Indianapolis small business leader Lorraine Ball sat down with our own Robby Slaughter to talk about productivity and business networking.
The full podcast is available online, or directly at Roundpeg’s site. Here are a few of Robby’s thoughts on networking:
It’s important to have an objective when you network. You don’t network for the sake of networking itself, you network to promote your business, you network because you want to find new contacts, because you want to learn more about the space that you are in.
I think the most important tool you can bring to a networking event is a pen and a piece of paper. I’m amazed how many people go to a networking event and never write anything down. How am I going to help you, how am I going to connect you to specific resources if all I have is your business card?
For more tips on productivity, take part in the 2010 Productivity Series. Our next event is Wednesday, February 3rd. Or, contact Slaughter Development to learn more about our services.
