How To Network, Without Your Mother's Permission

Consultants, like other professionals, need to build relationships and partnerships to grow and stay afloat in a changing business environment.

We’re talking about networking, of course. Networking is a way of positioning your service offering in the mind of potential clients. It is achieved by creating an image of what you do within a selected group of individuals so that your telephone will ring when one of them—or one of their contacts—needs your assistance.
