Networking rocks!
Thursday, March 27, 2008
So, I’ve been quiet on the blog front as of late, mostly because I’ve been very busy. Why’s that? Networking = connections = referrals (both received and given) = work. I’m sure that equation will annoy the mathematically-inclined, but you get the idea.
Getting out and meeting people at Biznik events, joining professional organizations, attending functions that pertain to your particular industry are good ways to get, and give, referrals. Always remember to go in with the idea that you’re going to give referrals to folks you know, rather than to get them for yourself; you’ll come across as someone who likes to help others, which will reflect well on you and get you more business in the long run.
Want to go to my portfolio site?
Here’s a couple images from a recent shoot I did; the client (http://www.roccoedante.com) chose me based on a referral from a trusted business associate.
