The primary business networking driver for many people is to generate more business from the people they meet. Not directly but by introductions to other people they know. Many opportunities to make referrals are missed by people because they do not see the possibility at the relevant time.
It takes time to build a relationship where people recommend and refer you as a matter of course when they spot an opportunity. At NRG-networks we call this Networking Advocacy and facilitate this relationship building process.
One of the great advantages of online networks is that they let you see who your contacts are connected to so that you can request an introduction. This means that online networks are becoming increasingly important as a valuable resource for your offline activities.
Good Networking!
