Some reasons to attend business networking events

·        *   Increase your visibility by making sure your face and your message get in front of new contacts on an ongoing basis.

·        *   Start relationships that will lead to new alliance and referrals and make sure to follow-up to deepen business relationships.

·        *   Offer and receive referrals. The best way to fill a need is with someone who has already proven him/herself with someone you know. Networking events are great for this kind of referral exchange.

·       *    Stay current on trends in your industry with new information you can gather at these events.

·        *   Become and stay connected to key influencers in your industry and within your target market.

·       *    Find solutions to your problems. Odds are someone else has had and solved your current situation. You, in turn, can offer solutions to others.

·       *    Learn and become motivated. Leave with new ideas, inspirations and a regenerated sense of motivation.
