I was speaking this week with a guy who runs a Business Enterprise Centre in the Hunter Valley of NSW. He was explaining to me how he taught all of his members to network. "I tell them to hand out their business cards everywhere they go, collect business cards from everyone you meet. In a week or two, give them a follow up call and ask for their business. That's how to network." I was obviously a little "gob smacked" that someone could truly think that was networking, but even more so when I explained that BNI's view was that networking was all about freely giving other people business opportunities. |
