Business Networking
Buisiness networking is a critical part of selling your work, services or creative output and an important tool to grow your business or organisation. Business networking can help you find new customers, develop new skills and find new ways to test ideas and obtain informal business support.
Business networking can be both face-to-face and virtual. There are many networking organisations around, both specially for creative businesses and wider business networks. Social media like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have led the way in online networking, but there are also a range of localised virtual networks.
"Networking is for everybody. Many people think networking is all about
schmoozing! They feel it can be insincere and manipulative. For some people
that will be true, but most networks are full of people in the same boat who
are looking to meet new people and grow their business" Amber Valley
