As an entrepreneur the importance of social networking is unsurpassed. It\u2019s a way to generate business and referrals as well as connect with likeminded people.<\/p>\n
Know Your Audience<\/h2>\n
The first thing you need to understand about networking is what your contacts are looking for. Once you understand that, you can refer contacts to other people in your network. Being able to help others find what they are looking for will motivate them to also send referrals your way. This is a process that takes time and can\u2019t be rushed. However, once your network begins to grow, so does your business.<\/p>\n
