Networking to build business

Effective networking is a key component to growing any business.  Unfortunately, mass marketing has surpassed network marketing and the old ways have dwindled.  This is my attempt to resurrect the old.

 
 In it for themselves
  Jul 13, 2007

I had someone ask me a question recently.  They said that people on social networking sites are only on the sites for their own benefit and just to sell you their program while no one wants to look at yours.

First I have to say that everything we do in life is for ourselves.  While many individuals may have very altruistic thoughts and activities, they still do it for themselves because it is what makes them feel good.

Are people only on these sites to promote their businesses and no one is here to look at anything else?  That probably has a great deal of truth to it.  But doesn't that give you a great opportunity to be the diamond in a pile of coal? 

Just think, if you actually talk to people about THEIR interests (not necessarily their business, but what kinds of things they like) and offer to provide them with help in some way (maybe a referral to someone you know or free advice on how to navigate the site or anything you feel competent to help them with) then you gain ground over all of those individuals that simply log in to spam the other members.

And just think, if you are that diamond and make an effort to build a true solid friendship, who are those new friends going to turn to if they need your product, the one spamming them or the one that has helped and been a real friend?  And what if they know someone who needs your product?  Will they think of you or the one who sent them all those messages without even knowing their first name (which is clearly posted on their profile)?

So go be the diamond and the least you will gain is a good friend.

Thanks! You just said it all! Networking is about building relationships. Do that and the business will follow. I'd much rather do business with someone I know and trust. And, just like you said, if we can't be business partners at least we might become good friends. You can never have too many of those!

This makes sense; good for you. Networking is a reliance and alliance we all benefit from. Promotional marketing allows the readers to learn much more about a product or service they 'think' will solve their problems. If they don't want it; they won't search the Classifieds. If they do want a solution they will likely search a related blog and make friends they can rely on. Issues arise every day and seeking sound resolution from those in a similar situation may offer a calm necessary to make the right decision. There is good in every result; if it is not obvious, you are oblivious. Get connected with the positive side of every situation and allow social networking to work to your advantage. ...CSea

A true network! Building solid friendships is what true networking is all about. There is no better boost to business than to receive new customers and friends based on your existing customers and friends spreading the good news about your business or service. Great businesses take special efforts in insuring satisfied customers by filling customer needs and there is no greater pleasure than in being of service to others. Especially when that service is appreciated.

Very good comment - we need to establish a bond of friendship and mutual respect before we can expect someone to listen to what we are promoting. So how can I learn about your product?

Why people join social networks?
Users join a social networking site to meet people (78 percent), be entertained (47 percent), learn something (38 percent) and influence others (23 percent), the study found. Fianlly people are joining to grow his/her success! thanks Rasko
