You read it right! If you choose not to network then you don’t have a solid business. Networking is a vital key in a business. People do business with people. People enjoy interacting with other people, and most importantly, with people they trust.
Many people are skeptical of network marketing and pyramid schemes, but isn’t it amazing how successful many of them are, even if just for a little while. One of the main reasons so many multilevel networking businesses are so successful is because people do business with people that they know and trust. Building relationships with people is the key to networking.

We love our local businesses and our local consultants, but if they don’t network, they will not be successful. There is an old saying that you may have heard and it says that a close mouth doesn’t get fed. With this being said, it is important to NETWORK if you want your business to grow. If you don’t talk to people, they will never get to know how awesome you are. If they don’t know you they will never trust you. The other great part of networking is, not only will people trust you and do business with you, but they also, will share your business with others in their network; this is FREE marketing.

There are a number of great marketing tools available, however, nothing beats FREE marketing. There is nothing better than getting referrals from customers that are pleased with your products and services. When you network with others, not only will you possibly receive new business, but you also have the opportunity of meeting other wonderful business minded individuals that you too may be able to help. There may be someone in your existing network that has been in need of what someone else has, and if you’re able to be there and make that connection; it works out for everyone, you’ve just positioned yourself to be an asset in that person’s network.

One valuable thing to remember when networking is that it should be a two way street. You should be bringing something to the table and they should be bringing something to the table, it may not always include new clients or customers immediately, but it may include great resources or information that will help take your business to another level. It may even be a connection of someone else that you really need to connect with. When you build a really strong network, you will see that it is very instrumental to your success.
