Your Business: Networking Mistake #5

5. Location, Location, Location

Where you choose to network really does matter! Choose different environments where you will meet more than just potential prospects for YOU. Networking is a process of connecting with different types of professionals. As a result, you will grow your list of contacts and potentially develop your million dollar rolodex too!

Look to develop contacts from the 3 categories below at Networking events, so that your business will grow and diversify with contacts that can potentially provide you with multiple streams of income.
  1. JV Partners - ranging of different non-compete businesses that share in the same Target Market
  2. Referral partners - perhaps sending potential clients to them, that are not a fit for you. This can also develop into a Joint Venture relationship too.
  3. Colleague/Peer relationships - you can collaborate and mastermind with this group on future larger projects and opportunities.

Q: At your next networking meeting, consciously focus on different category from your norm. Perhaps, you may consider seeking out a colleague in your industry instead of a prospect and have an open discussion what "collaborating" together might look like.
