If you have a local business, are B2B or are a service-based business, networking is a great way to grow your business and build relationships.
But, networking can be a gigantic waste of time too, if not done correctly!
There are so many ways to network with others these days: networking groups, events, industry related associations, one-on-one meetings, social media; it’s overwhelming!
