So, I ask how many of you belong to a networking group beyond our BNI chapter? Do you belong to a Chamber of Commerce? Do you belong to a community service group? How about a professional association? Women's business organization?
If you don;t make the time to leave your "cave" and meet other qualified business professional regularly, you'll never grow a word-of-mouth based business. Networking is a contact sport! If you don't develop effective relationships you can't possibly create a diverse and reliable network. The network is what provides you your referrals!
Its not called "Net-Sit" or "Net-Eat" -- it's called Net-WORK. You must work the networks that you belong to!
