There's so much buzz about business networking that you might think
that it's modern man's greatest invention. You hear so much about it
that some people have almost come to regard it as a bad thing, as some
sort of necessary evil.With that cultural shift in mind, you should
remember two important things about business networking.First,
business networking is nothing new. It's just that the Internet age
offers new networking tools. In fact, people have been networking as
long as they've been communicating with one another. Business
networking simply refers to “Building and cultivating relationships
with people of similar interests in ways that can benefit all
parties”. When early tribes swapped information about great hunting
spots or fresh water sources, they were networking.A few decades ago,
when people started out and were told, "It's not what you know that
counts; it's whom you know," that was a nod to the importance of
business networking. Whenever people gather for Chamber of Commerce
socials, join professional associations, go to conventions, or ask
friends for introductions or recommendations, they're networking.Many
people network to get leads for new business, but networking can also
help you find a job, change careers, hire good employees, sell
products, improve your business practices or accomplish any number of
professional goals.Today's professionals use traditional forms, but
they also have other choices for business networking. They might join
groups, attend networking events or network in online forums.The
second thing to remember about 21st century business networking is
that it's only as good as you make it. Whether it's schmoozing over
wine and cheese or keeping up with contacts on a Web site, networking
can be a waste of time if done incorrectly. Trading business cards
with dozens of people, sending out mass e-mail blasts to everyone you
know, telling everyone at a gathering about yourself or racking up
hundreds of friends on Facebook may not accomplish much.Here are some
