How to network in 5 simple steps

*5 simple steps for you

1. Remaining Open – Networking is all about opening your mind to other people and their businesses. 
2. Commit & Persevere – Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a network. 
3. Help, Don’t Sell – When speaking to someone new, don’t immediately switch to sales mode and try to ram your products and services down their throat.
4. What Can You Do for Others? – Don’t approach networking with a ‘me me me’ attitude, see it as a forum where you come to help and advise others too.
5. Don’t Assume Everybody ‘Gets It’ – A big networking mistake is to assume that everyone already knows what you do. WRONG.
