SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHING
A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
3

• A professional network is a list
• of contacts that can enhance
• your career and help in your
• job search ...

4

• and can mean the difference between career
  success and falling behind the competition in the
  office and in the field.

5

• Once you get one established,
• it simply becomes a matter of adding to it.

But it is those first few steps of establishing
yourself that can be difficult.
6
Gathering and Organizing
CONTACT INFORMATION
7

• Business professionals who are good at making new
  business contacts always have a system they use
  to keep their contacts cataloged properly.

8

• The process of collecting the information can be
  as simple as making a note in your smartphone or
  asking for business cards with the contact
  information on them.

9

• You need to have a simple database program where
  you keep all of the information, and you need to
  update that database regularly as you interact
  with your contacts, or as you learn new
  information.

10
BE AVAILABLE TO OTHERS
11

• One of the best ways to establish a strong
  network is to be available to your contacts when
  they need you.

12

• If someone asks you to take on a task in your
  area of expertise, then do so quickly.

13

• If you know a professional who can help out one
  of your contacts, then offer to act as the
  intermediary to bring the two together.

14

• When you are active within your network, you will
  see it grow and you will start to get
  opportunities you may have otherwise not received.

15
CARRY PLENTY OF BUSINESS CARDS
16

• Carry business cards with you at all times and be
  prepared to give them out when people ask you
  what you do.

17

• If you do not have any cards yet, get some
  printed right away with your basic contact
  information.

18

• A business card is a quick and easy way to have
  your name added to someone else's contact list
  and to grow your own as well.

19
DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF
20

• A professional should be interested in
  establishing the broadest possible network that
  includes people from a variety of fields.

21

• The purpose of this is to act as a resource to
  help your career.

22

• If you limit it to only certain types of
  businesses, you may miss out on gaining new
  customers as well as other contacts that can help
  you to succeed.

23

• As your career grows, your network should grow
  with it, providing support as for your career.

24

• W hen you invest the necessary time and effort
  into establishing your professional network, you
  will find that the return on that investment is
  significant.
