Networking is probably the last thing on a busy professional’s
to do list. But it is something useful, valuable and needed. Enterprises TV
offers some networking tips for busy professionals to help stay in the loop.
Set a visual or audible reminder when it’s time to reconnect
with people outside of the office. Relationship building takes times and care.
We should be interested in what the other person’s is doing and has
accomplished. We should be able to know when it’s a good time to ask for
advice, give feedback or simply catch up.
Organize the contacts from networking sites. Edit the groups
and organizations and trim them if needed. Focus on who or what is needed from
each one. Add new contacts, reach out and introduce yourself. If the sound of “networking”
sounds onerous, think of it as reconnecting with interesting people instead.
Enterprises suggests following up to just say hello and find
out what’s new. If contact hasn’t been made in a while, refrain from asking for
anything. Take it easy and don’t overwhelm the other person with note after
note. Try connecting with three people or groups per week. It won’t be so
overwhelming then.
Networking takes time and this might not be something a busy
professional can spare. But the key to making is successful is to prioritize
it, organize it and manage it well.
