How have you been building your networking lately?
When we think about networking, we remember connections, which means establishing and nurturing long-term relationships with professionals who share similar interests.
Undoubtedly, a network of relationships is essential for improving skills, staying updated on trends in your field, establishing partnerships, meeting potential clients, suppliers, and, increasingly, innovating your business with various ideas.
Have you ever stopped to think if you have truly taken advantage of networking opportunities? Surely, soon we will have many events like business matchmaking! After all, on July 21st and 22nd, 2021, a Business Fair called “Expo Retomada” took place in Santos, São Paulo. Although the venue’s capacity was for 3,500 people, the number of visitors was limited to 750 per day, making it the first test event to evaluate COVID-19 protocols.
If you recognize that this subject is essential but still face some difficulties in creating lasting connections, I invite you to access the article “Business Meeting: The Importance of Networking“ to understand the initial steps to build a strong contact list.
“Gathering is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.”
Henry Ford
This quote makes us reflect on our strategies to initiate and maintain healthy professional relationships. It’s impossible to expect that it will happen overnight because it takes time to earn trust, doesn’t it? Certainly, the secret to any successful relationship is reciprocity.
We are rooting for you to soon expand your network of contacts, including at business fairs!
