With marketing budgets on a shoestring these days, business leaders are hitting the streets with their business cards in hand, using old-fashioned social skills to attract customers.

Even when economics aren’t a factor, networking is a an important way to market yourself and your business, make new contacts, and interact beyond the typical business talk. Today’s networking tip is from Work the Pond! :

Circulate in the pond. Positive Networking is about meeting people and building your network. At events, avoid the temptation to stagnate – talking only to people you know. Try to meet seven new people at each event.

A great way to meet people is through Chamber events, such as our Business After Hours and Business Breakfasts, or B2B Networking. Subscriptions are now available for Business After Hours and Business Breakfasts. Click here for more information.
