Networking is at the heart of this.\n\nBut networking isn\u2019t a popularity contest or about your ability to sell. Contrary to popular belief, it\u2019s actually all about building mutually beneficial relationships.\n\nNot quite as basic as the \u2018you scratch my back, I scratch yours\u2019 kind. In this context, the relationship is built over a genuine interest you have in what your new contact does, and how you might be able to help support them now, or in the future.\n\nLet\u2019s unpack exactly what business networking is, some tips for you to use in future networking events \u2013\u00a0and what to do if you happen to hate networking.\n<h2 id=\"what-is-business-networking\">What is business networking?<\/h2>\nBusiness networking is the process of making connections and building relationships with people within your immediate industry or the wider business world.\n\nBusiness networking is not about selling your product or service immediately. The aim is to build a business relationship that is mutually beneficial for both parties. Why? Done well, successful business networking can help you find new business opportunities, build brand awareness and more.\n\nBut business relationships aren\u2019t built overnight. It takes time, effort, and genuine interest from both parties for it to become an effective long term success.\n<h2 id=\"why-is-expanding-your-business-network-important\">Why is expanding your business network important?<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hate networking? We've got you covered with some tips to get you started.\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6559 size-full\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/networking.jpeg\" width=\"2048\"\/>\n\nNo matter how much you know, it\u2019s impossible to do it alone. Expanding your network allows you to create personal connections, as well as professional connections who can help you now and in the future.\n\nDo you want to find investment for your business? Someone in your network might be able to help you. What about that international expansion you were considering? You may already know someone in your network that has experience of that, who you can ask for advice.\n\nThe question of who you network with is at the core of a strong business network. But expansion doesn\u2019t necessarily mean having to network with everyone \u2013 no one has the time or energy for that.\n\nWhat you want to do is \u201cunderstand how you contribute to [someone\u2019s] success, and how you can benefit from their knowledge,\u201d as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/biancamillercole\/2019\/03\/20\/why-networking-should-be-at-the-core-of-your-career\/?sh=6270ec7f1300\"> Bianca Miller Cole suggests<\/a>.\n<h2 id=\"what-if-you-hate-networking\">What if you hate networking?<\/h2>\nLet\u2019s debunk a myth: just because you\u2019re a small business owner, it doesn\u2019t mean that networking comes naturally \u2013 and that\u2019s okay.\n\nFor the introverts amongst us, expanding your network can be daunting. Fortunately, there are some books out there that you can lean on for guidance.\n<h3 id=\"1-never-eat-alone-by-keith-ferrazzi\">1.

What\u2019s next?\n\nWhen it comes to practice, the good news is that networking has changed a lot thanks to technology and social media. Let\u2019s unpack some tips to help you on your way to becoming a pro networker.\n<h3 id=\"1-set-realistic-expectations\">1. Set realistic expectations<\/h3>\nIn other words, don\u2019t set yourself up for failure! First, go easy on yourself. No matter how much preparation you\u2019ve made, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll still feel a little awkward and go off script.\n\nSoon enough you\u2019ll take it all in your stride, but for now, it\u2019s perfectly normal to feel that way. Second, it\u2019s tempting to expect an immediate and overt result; a swag of genuine connections, a cutting-edge supplier or a keen investor.\n\nIn reality, this sort of result is highly unlikely and requires time. Networking is a process and meeting a new prospect is the first step. You may not reap the benefits of that meeting until much later.\n<h3 id=\"2-learn-how-to-introduce-yourself-in-a-networking-event\">2. Learn how to introduce yourself in a networking event<\/h3>\nEver introduced yourself awkwardly because you hate talking about yourself? You\u2019re not alone.\n\nThe good news is preparation with the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/asana.com\/resources\/elevator-pitch-examples\">an elevator pitch<\/a> can help. The key is to craft a short and sweet introduction so people understand who you are and what you do.\n\nDon\u2019t focus on sounding clever, just make sure it\u2019s clear.\n<h3 id=\"3-prepare-questions-to-ask\">3. Prepare questions to ask<\/h3>\nFrom small talk to business-related questions, preparation is key. Although you do not want to appear over-prepared which may make you seem robotic, having a few go-to questions up your sleeve is always a good idea.\n\nA few of our favourite go-to questions for small talk include:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What brings you here?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">How long have you been in this field?<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">What\u2019s the best part of your job?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"4-attend-a-variety-of-business-networking-events\">4. Attend a variety of business networking events<\/h3>\nNetworking events are often a hit or miss depending on the crowd. If one doesn\u2019t go well, it can be tempting to dismiss others \u2013 but don\u2019t fall into this trap.\n\nDidn\u2019t enjoy a particular event? Chances are the next time it\u2019s in session there might be a new crowd, making it difficult to judge how good an event from a one-off one that you attend.\n\nDon\u2019t forget, from physical events to virtual ones, there are plenty of networking groups to choose from.\n\nNot sure where to start? We\u2019ve got some handy tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/blog\/how-to-network-virtually\/\">how business owners can network virtually<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"5-dont-become-a-robot-just-because-youre-at-a-networking-event-be-human\">5. Don\u2019t become a robot just because you\u2019re at a networking event \u2013 be human<\/h3>\nThe key to being memorable is passion and authenticity, which means you need to be yourself.\n\nRemember, it may be professional, but you\u2019re making mates out there. Arm yourself with conversation starters that showcase your personality; light-hearted anecdotes will serve you far better than a rehearsed elevator pitch.\n\nAvoid overusing buzzwords and technical jargon. Ask questions that make for interesting answers and listen. Everyone loves to talk about themselves, so let your new connection wax lyrical about their own business venture. They\u2019ll love you for it.\n<h3 id=\"6-dont-forget-to-follow-up\">6. Don\u2019t forget to follow up<\/h3>\nBusiness networking is a process. A lot of work and effort goes into making new connections; more work and effort goes into building and maintaining those connections.\n\nMake and prioritise time to follow up with the people you\u2019ve met after the event. Reference something you spoke about for a personal touch, like a shared interest or a book recommendation.\n<h2 id=\"where-to-find-business-networking-opportunities\">Where to find business networking opportunities<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"We've got you covered if you're unsure where to find business networking events\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6555 size-full\" height=\"1708\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/chase-clark-T69h1_YfR-w-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2560\"\/>\n\nThere are plenty of networking opportunities out there but many cater to individuals looking for job opportunities and career advice. As a small business owner, these may not be quite right for you. Instead, look for events or platforms that support business to business (B2B) connections, or those tailored to your specific industry. Below are a few places to start your research:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Popular websites<\/strong> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/\">Eventbrite<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/\">Meetup<\/a> host a variety of events, from workshops to speed networking and informal meet ups around the world.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Social networking<\/strong> on platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> enables you to hear about upcoming events from mutual connections or business profiles. Virtually networking on LinkedIn can also help grow your contacts folder.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Industry-leading corporates<\/strong> often host traditional and digital networking events that pack a punch. Google the big players in your field such as <a href=\"https:\/\/max.adobe.com\/\">Adobe\u2019s Creativity Conference<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canneslions.com\/\">Cannes Lions<\/a> and sign up to their events e-newsletter.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Shared coworking spaces<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/\">WeWork<\/a> offer plenty of perks to start-ups and SMBs, including a variety of networking opportunities, from new business launches to panel discussions.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Blogs<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/\">Techcrunch<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flyingsolo.com.au\/\">Flying Solo<\/a> are not only a great way to stay up to date with industry news, but also highlight upcoming events suited to your industry or business specialty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"its-not-what-you-know-its-who-you-know\">It\u2019s not what you know \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s who you know<\/h2>\nGone are the days where you hang around the buffet table at that networking event you didn\u2019t really want to go to. We hope that the business networking tips above will give you the confidence to put yourself out there if you\u2019re not a natural networker.\n\nAnd if you\u2019re ever in doubt? Remember how far you\u2019ve come with your own business.
