Networking goes beyond trading contact information and adding another name to your rolodex. Because networking is centered on the concept of building relationships, there are useful tips to keep in mind to be effective in building meaningful and fruitful relationships. Useful tips to consider, according to the Gwinnett Network, are as follows: select and become a member of a networking group that makes sense, set goals for the event and identify the people you want to meet, arrive early and stay late at meetings, listen more and talk less, help others as you’re able to, make notes on the back of business cards, follow up with a personal note to those that you came in contact with, and continue to form relationships.
