North Raleigh Leads is not about having a onetime meeting, exchanging business cards and to leave then. We believe networking is as critical as our personal family relations. It is all about building long term, enduring and strong relations with your referrals. Long term relationships demand long term planning and trustworthiness. Strength of any association depends greatly on the loyalty and commitment of the parties. You have got to be true in your words and promises. You need to be genuine and true. Every relationship is standing on the pillars of trust.
North Raleigh Leads is important to grow our business
1. Because you can develop contacts that you might not be able to meet by cold calling
2. Because you meet people who can introduce you to other decision makers.
3. Because it enables you to build a network of referrals and introductions for your clients
Six important NO-NOs of networking
1. Never sell your product or service while networking
2. Never be the first one out the door as soon as the networking event is over
3. Never wear your old jeans and sweatshirt to a networking event
4. Never wait for someone to come and talk to you
5. Never allow yourself to feel inferior
6. Never run out of business cards
