In business (and especially at networking events) efficiency is valuable. If you don't time to read my entire book, "Motivational Listener: Be Interesting by Being Interesting. Practical skills to be successful at business networking events" or get individual coaching from me, then this episode is for you! I give you the six steps you need to connect with people and build your network.

We know 85% of jobs are never posted, they go to someone in a network; and the best referrals are word of mouth – coming from someone inside your business network. When someone is looking for work or business referrals, the first place to go is the network.

Unfortunately, we don’t have very good skills at building a network. We ought to be clear on what we need from a network, the strength of our current network (and what’s missing), and how to build an ideal network.

If you or someone you know could benefit from an improved business network, I’ve set aside time to talk. Cruise over to dscottsmith.com/contactscott and schedule a no obligation, no cost call.
