Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Networking for Business

    VANCOUVER, BC, March 09, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Join your local Chamber of Commerce and attend as many networking events as is feasible. Use the time to socialize with other business owners in your community, exchange business cards by all means but keep the conversation social. These events are an excellent opportunity for promoting awareness of your brand and making important contacts within the local business community.

Try to participate in any charity or community-based activities. If you have a physical business that is based in the community, then this is particularly important; ensure that any local projects you are supporting are prominently featured in your business premises and on your website also. Even if your business is online and your customers spread all over the globe, there is nothing to be lost from establishing yourself as the face of your business in your community.

Look online for 'meetup' groups that focus on business people or entrepreneurs. These groups vary in their organizational styles and effectiveness but some are deliberately focused on organizing network events for business owners. See if there are any events locally that you can attend.

Follow through:

When you get home from a networking event, follow up with all the people you chatted to. You have their business cards, now send off a quick email saying how much you enjoyed meeting them and offer to connect with them on LinkedIn. If possible try and add a personal note to show you do actually remember the person!
