What Does Networking Mean & What It Shouldn’t!

02/22/2017 By Kristen Day 29 Comments

Business networking is about building relationshipsI wanted to discuss what networking means to you. So what does networking mean to you? When you go to a networking meeting what is your goal, what are you trying to achieve, and/or why are you going?

Network is a verb which means to connect to or operate with a network, or to link and operate interactively, or to interact with other people to exchange information and develop contacts especially to further one’s career.  Note it does not say to go to a networking meeting and give out all your business cards and ask people to get clients for you.

What networking is and what networking isn’t

So remember that business is about relationships and you need to build relationships with people to gain clients and/or business partners. You do this so that they will want to work with you or use your services because they know, like and trust you. So when you go to a networking meeting, you seek out folks that might be good business referral partners, folks that you might want to do business with or that are your target market.  However, before you push yourself into their ‘circle’ you are building those relationships.

Hey… if you don’t want to read this, watch this video that recaps this blog

Find business referral partners

Business referral partners are ones that would refer to you and you would refer to them, reciprocating. For example in my internet marketing industry, an ideal business partner for me would be a website designer or a business coach. Because I could refer to those people and they similarly refer easily to me. Another example would be a dentist and an orthodontist. These two wouldn’t fight for business but all patients could be ‘passed’  or referred back and forth to each other easily.

Build referral networkNetworking to build your business with relationships

You also want to build relationships with those in the networking group so you could refer to them and they could refer to you, but that aren’t necessarily a complimentary business.  Like the dentist and orthodontist aren’t business referral partners for me but could be part of my referral network so I still want to build relationships with them.  In this network, you want to help educate them about your business and get to know their business so you could refer to them better.  This is part of that relationship building. Note that I did not say they could do your work for you or that they could refer to you and you don’t bother with them.  You could treat them like an extension of your sales team. Keep in mind though that any sales team works better if there are some incentives.  This could be giving shout outs on social media, working to help refer back to them, sending them a thank you note or gift depending upon your referral – simple appreciation! Remember the Golden Rule? It needs to be a given take.

Ask for specific referrals

Another networking tip is to advise people what specifically you are looking for. For example, mention you are looking for the owner of the printing shop on the corner of X & Y… or I am looking for small business firms like attorneys, dentists, chiropractors or etc because those are good referral sources for me in that they have some overhead, they have a staff and they’re more likely to have the disposable income to use my services. If you’re giving people an idea of specifically what you’re looking for it helps your referral network to think of folks that may fit into that profile versus just saying, hey I need referrals and not giving an idea of what kind of referral you need.

How can I help you

When you start a conversation or relationship with asking how you can help them versus spouting off what you offer and how they can help you…. you are showing that you aren’t there just to get… but to GIVE and ‘givers gain’.  If you start it off this way, I firmly believe they will be more inclined to want to help you and you are off to building a better relationship.  Think of it as I scratch your back and you scratch mine. Give them a reason to want to work with you.

Create an intro that shares about you but provides value for them! BOOM!  #value #networking

Your introduction / elevator speech

Lastly is on the 30-second introduction or elevator speech. One of my pet peeves in networking is when the same person mentions the same Use your elevator speech to intro yourself but add value 30 second intro that they always do. Remember that you may see these folks weekly or monthly and everyone is hearing you saying the same thing. It also gives us the time to tune out, and for that, I usually do.  You have to give them a reason to listen which is something valuable, or something that they can use which gives them a reason to want to work with you.

What I like to do is to give a short snippet of who I am and what I offer and then offer a tip of how they can benefit their business.  This way I am giving them something of value that they can use and also giving an example of how my business works.  When people understand more about what you do, they are more likely to remember it, relate to it and refer you.

What networking really isn’t

I have already touched on some of the things above but we’ll recap them again here just to drive it home.

  • It isn’t supposed to be about you
  • You don’t walk into a newtorking group with the intention of selling to everyone there at that meeting
  • While you are there to network, it has to be give and take… not gimme gimme gimme
  • Don’t start off by saying you started a new job with XYZ and need you all to get me more clients. Really?
  • Please do not use the same 30 second elevator speech each and every time – find ways to vary your speech, add value.
  • This isn’t a business card convention

Side note – funny story about Pay Per Click v Paper Clip

Funny story about pay per click (PPC).  I had been mentioning at a networking group that I offer pay per click services and for the longest time somebody was misunderstanding it and thought I kept saying paper clip. So, again this is a reiteration of the importance of explaining what you offer in different ways.

Business Cards – it deserves it’s own paragraph!

Please do NOT walk into a networking group and hand out your business cards. Yes it is great that you have a stack of business cards that you have on you at all times (because you ARE a business owner) but that does not mean that you handed to every person you meet. It is usually a good idea to ask somebody else what they do and then in return, hopefully, they will ask you what you do.  Then, IF they’re interested in you and/or your services, they’ll ask for your business card and this would be a great time to ask for theirs because that person is probably interested in what you have to offer so you could follow up with them.

Networking isn’t about ‘making it rain’ business cards so Stop Doing That! #networking #tips

Click to tweet

It is not about ‘making it rain’ with business cards – please don’t do this. Similarly, when you go to a networking group, make sure you DO have business cards. Too often I ask for somebody’s business card because I’m interested in their services or want to contact them and they reply, I don’t have any or I just ran out. Are you kidding… you are at a networking meeting, why do not have business cards? Are you not wanting to grow your business?

What do YOU do at networking meetings that has helped you?

Hopefully this has helped you by explaining what networking is, what it isn’t and how to improve your networking.  Should you have any tips or tricks of how you ‘DO’ networking, please share in the comments below!  Contact me with any questions about networking, search engine optimization or anything internet marketing.

    Great explanation, Kristen. I learned this so long ago, while speaking at writers’ conferences. There, as anywhere, writers wanted to know what I could do for them. As time went on, literary agents knew they could trust the clients I referred to them, and began to seek me out. It truly is about the value you can provide!

    I have never really been involved in networking groups, but I’m starting a venture that will require it and this is valuable information. I loved the paper clip story. It really is important to vary the way you present things so misunderstandings are sorted and people don’t zone out. Thanks once again for your helpful advice Kristen.

As for networking, I’m convinced it’s the best way to find customers and colleagues. Business in today’s world is all about relationships. Your advice is solid.

    Paper clip – lol. THAT is too funny, Kristen. I so love all the truth bombs you shared in this article. EVERY business owner needs to read this. I’m sharing everywhere! I really loved your tip about having the same 30 second elevator pitch every time. I tend to say something different every time but I haven’t shared a tidbit that can help them in my 30 second pitch. I’m going to start doing that today.

    Networking for me is about CONNECTION. It’s about giving value, giving value and giving more value. To build the know, like, trust factor, we must give value. I have used networking to build friendships, affiliate partners, joint venture partners, and experts to interview for my community. Last year alone, I interviewed over 70 amazing women and shared these interviews with my community to ADD VALUE for everyone.

    I’m reminded of the quote – People forget what you do but they never forget how you made them feel. THIS is my motto.

    Thanks for this article.

    Fantastic explanation Kristen of what it REALLY means to be networking, not just online, but offline at networking meetings 🙂 It is all in building those relationships!!! I 100% agree that it is DEFINITELY NOT about you 🙂 Knowing the value that you bring and want to share is key but seeking out others who want to build that relationship is what will help both of you in the long run 🙂

    Great post and share!

    Although I have not attended official marketing networking groups, I do see daily life as a networking opportunity and go about my day with my ears open. I think we each develop our own style of connecting with people and building relationships and for me at least, the relationship is the most important thing. Personal experience also is important to me and I find those who can share about their personal experiences with others effectively, also can build solid relationships built on trust and respect. And yes, I always carry business cards with me and give them out when appropriate. Thanks for the inside view of things to do in a marketing networking group situation, Kristen!

    As an introvert in person networking events are really not my jam. I feel awkward from the get-go and it never fails, I always attract THAT person. The one that you can not get away from to save your life and you are sucked down a 2 hour rabbit hole listening to their life story and why their products/services are the best. I had to block one lady from Facebook after a networking event and she messaged me more than 10 times in ONE week about her skin care products, her website, could she give me a complimentary facial, joining her opportunity. Never once did she ask me about myself, my family, my interests or my business. Definitely a Networking 101 Do NOT lol. Great post as always lady!

I have many besties that are intros.. so what YOU need to do, is find that person in networking and they’ll do the work FOR YOU! 😉 BTW.. makeup / skin care lady… she FAILED!

    I never go to networking events to distribute my business cards. Instead, I collect as many as possible and after the event, call these people and start a conversation. It helps to build a better foundation, and people feel more open talking to you that way than when you give them your cards and expect to hear from them.

    I like business cards but I have found that a blend of physical cards and digital cards work for me. I’m curious what’s your take on digital business cards?

    Reply
    • Kristen Day says

      03/10/2020 at 5:56 PM

      I agree that you should have some digital reminders of your contact info. I actually have an email signature that has my website as well as my social media channels on them. But business cards are a great way to share your info with someone, who is interested of course, when you are out and need to share info in a flash.

      So, more to your question… when someone is using a digital business card, how are you providing it to someone else? You obviously have to have a means to contact them or an app you share a commonality with.

Kristen was amazing in helping us build 2 websites for our childcare center. She was very helpful, took the time to walk me through everything and made sure all of our questions were answered. Thanks for everything 🙂

Kristen Rocks!  

Kristen listens to your current online marketing strategies (or absence of), asks pertinent questions to better understand your vision and goals for your business or organization, and then proposes options as she digs into her tool box of experience and resources. She has been a gem to work with! She will teach you what you want to know to DIY, or she can do the work for you if you prefer. She's the perfect team player to buddy up with. I highly recommend Kristen, A Visual Business.

Exceeded Expectations!  

Kristen did amazing job across the board, for our website build. She kept the process simple, and I could not be happier with the end result. Simply fantastic!

Dennis Stetzel   
Great Professionalism and Results!  

After living through an absolute nightmare of outsourcing the managmement of our Google Ads account that cut our revenue in half, we were introduced to Kristen. She took a professional approach, working with us to understand our business, set-up some straightfoward campaigns, regulary review and tweak and always working with a sense of urgency, attention to detail and great communication, turned things around. Just a few months later, we are now moving past our previous peak and into new territory in the number of leads, conversions and revenue.

Great ad partner!  

Kristen has been fantastic to work with. She knows Google Ads, will work with me on strategy and provides very thorough reporting. I'd recommend her to anyone!

First class service and super friendly too..  

Despite being based in the UK we managed to find Kristen via referral. She has always delivered on brief, on time and on budget. The UK/USA distance was no problem either. The service has always been exceptional and all done with a happy positive attitude. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to outsource you PPC

Paid Ads - She's Been Amazing  

We were referred to Kristen from another business owner for Paid Ads on Google (PPC). I had been running PPC myself but wasn’t getting the results we needed and we were headed into our busiest time of year (Black Friday and Christmas) and we had hefty goals that we needed to meet. I had been frustrated with the lack of return and super busy with all of the other marketing responsibilities I needed to fulfil at the company.

So, we got started with Kristen and a $2,000 budget with the hope to get a 2.0 return on ad spend. Within the first week we were seeing good results and increased to $2,500 and ended the month spending $3,000. The following month we started with $3,000 and ended up spending $4,000. We were seeing a 3-4.3 return on spend and Kristen explained things really well and showed the results for her ads as well as our overall traffic which helped me understand our overall position going into the holidays.

The following month was our biggest month with the most aggressive goals and we spent $10,000 in Nov and $8,000 in Dec and still maintained at least a 3.3 return and up to 4.5 and never lost steam. Kristen kept me appraised of our spend and results and kept working on the ads throughout the month, working with me on our holiday promos and discussing the results of the ads and all traffic. I was relieved to know that I could focus on the other marketing efforts and responsibilities while Kristen took care of the ads and did so much better.

I would recommend Kristen to any business owner looking to improve their visibility online and to grow their business with paid ads. She’s been AMAZING.

Hands Down the Best PPC Expert  

I brought on Kristen and A Visual Business to handle a PPC project for one of Atomic Revenue revenue's corporate real estate clients. The client had previously been working with a digital agency that was mishandling their account. I brought in Kristen as the new PPC Manager and Strategist on the account and the results have been outstanding. The quality of inbound PPC leads has raised exponentially and the conversion rate on those leads is close to 40% - keep in mind this commercial real estate is in the millions of dollars for sales. We've gotten a very positive ROI working with Kristen and will continue working with her as long as possible! I can't wait to plug her into more projects.

Kristen is professional, efficient, and a magic worker. She fixed a problem on my site I have been trying to sort for a few years, and she did it patiently and with no fuss. I cannot recommend her expertise enough. My only regret is that I didn't know her when I was setting up my site as I know she would have saved me much time and many headaches.

I cannot say enough about working with Kristen. If you want fast, efficient and professional this is the place and Kristen is the lady!!! I tried the DIY and got so frustrated and resentful... one conversation with Kristen and she told me exactly what was needed to get my site up and running. I was so tired of DIY I asked her to GO FOR IT... and she did. I couldn't believe how quick Kristen took care of things that I had been working on for not only hrs but in a couple cases... days. I am over-the-moon happy with how things turned out and I know that Kristen will be my GO TO GIRL for all website and online needs from here on out. Don't waste your time on DIY... Kristen has you covered!!!

What a great experience I had working with Kristen. I've worked with other SEO companies in the past who talked a great game, but didn't really do a whole lot. Kristen goes above & beyond to make sure you understand exactly what it is she's doing and why she's doing it. I've learned quite a bit and enjoyed the processed.

I would highly recommend working with Kristen if you need help with any SEO work, she's great.

Kristen knows her stuff. She gave a great seminar today at the League City Chamber and reinforced why I need to use Social Media more.

I am so glad I just happened to see this class announced on Facebook! I'm new to Texas and starting a new business . . . in case you didn't know, it's very difficult to start a business when you know no one! I learned so much in Kristen's class! I've already made some changes to what I was already doing and begun using ideas and applications she suggested!

Kristen took a subject (SEO) about which I was completely ignorant and frankly, afraid of, and made it understandable. After just an hour with her, I'm confident that I can implement the changes she suggested. Her professionalism and knowledge are exemplary. I will heartily recommend you to others! Thank you!

I took a class with Kristen on Social Media and while I knew a bit about how Facebook works but after the class and some additional question and answers, I began to understand better how it works. I just wish other people and business owners understood the filters in Facebook and the value of the comment and share versus the like. I would highly recommend Kristen’s classes, using her services or having her help you with a consultation as it would be valuable to you and your business.

Kristen Wilson of A Visual Business knows about search engine optimization and social media marketing. Just a few tweaks here and there to my website and I have seen a difference in the stats. I really like how she also takes the time to not only explain what she will do, but breaks it down into laymen terms so I understand just how it will benefit my business. She's been a real treasure to work with!

I have been impressed with Kristen's knowledge since the first time I met her. She knows her stuff when it comes to SEO, and she will help you maximize your efforts. Having a website isn't enough. We must know how to best attract the RIGHT people. Since applying her suggestions, my website has been in the top three with search engines. Get seen by using her services.

Kristen is a marketing machine, period. Results driven and client centric creating a perfect match for my clients and my way of doing business. Her attention to detail and organizational skills are unmatched along with the fact that Kristen is consummate professional.

I had the pleasure of attending Social Media/Network Marketing training today with Kristen Wilson, the owner of A Visual Business. She has a refreshing approach to a tedious process we all deal with, Internet Marketing. I was immediately able to take her ideas and implement them on my company's Facebook page with instant results. No sooner had I made the updates she taught in class, than responses started pouring in. If an Internet presence is key for your company, if curb side appeal is and element used in your Social Media, if you want to be the one that stands out in your industry, then Kristen has the components you've been looking for. The great thing is that the information is in a digestible format and will give you the edge you need to get your company noticed.

I have known Kristen Wilson for several months and have worked with her not only on my site but as a partner with one of my own website development clients. She is knowledgeable, responsive, thorough and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is looking with help on SEO or PPC for their website.

I started working with Kristen about a year ago. I just started researching around on creating a new website for my company and I ran in to her at a local networking group. She helped me create my current web page and boosted it to the top 3 home inspection web sites with in 7 months. She is always by the phone and is happy to help . Thank you Kristen for all your hard work and your honest opinion it really shows in my business everyday.

I can't recommend A Visual Business strongly enough. I have spent thousands of dollars on traditional magazine ads that yielded little to nothing in return. Kristen goes out of her way to ensure that her customers are happy and well taken care of. She always exceeds our expectations.

When I reached out to AVB, Kristin reviewed my website in advance, and at our first meeting, she suggested a lot of improvement before we initiated the contract. Within days of moving forward, our new patient volume increased dramatically. We have been consistently busy ever since.

Kristen is working with me on my Website with Terrific results. She has helped me understand the importance of local content and persuaded me to blog more often. She's also made very constructive insight on layout, design and general website flow. I highly recommend her services.
