How to build and monetise a business network The Mike Ames Recruitment Show

    • Entrepreneurship

This is for anybody who hates attending networking events or feels they don’t get very much from them.
The good news is they are optional.
A Real Network is a group of people who are willing and able to help you in your personal, and professional lives.
Real Networking is the act of building and maintaining that network.
But why bother?
Because getting introductions and finding help when you need it, are the easiest ways to grow your business.
When I started in recruitment, I was on the phone all the time, but my boss (who never made cold calls) had a steady stream of leads phoned in to him.
I asked him how this could be, and he said, “because I’ve spent years building relationships with people who like me, trust me and want to help me”. 
I spent the next few years doing the same, and look what happened!
So in this Mike Ames Recruitment Show we are going to dig deep into Real Networking.
Our resident Real Networking coach Pete Ames is our guest and he’ll focus on three things that will get you started.
You have two choices: work hard forever or build a Real Network and let it do the hard work for you.
