Tip 2 - Block Out Time to Network
There are four steps to changing a behavior: want it, learnt it, try it, and live it. For most of us, advertising won't produce enough new business to keep us going indefinitely. Networking, if done strategically and exceptionally well, has the potential to generate all of your new business by word of mouth. It is ultimately about generating referrals over time for your company. The time & energy you spend on networking are part of your sales & marketing program. Set aside the time necessary to be successful.
