MAKING THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS
Business networking is a great way to make connections not only with potential customers or clients but also with other individuals who might recommend and refer your business to their friends or clients that are in need of the service you and your business provide.
The Lake West Chamber of Commerce is proud to host networking social events throughout the year. These events are held at our local establishments for our current members and prospective members or clients to get together to visit and share new thoughts and ideas for our community. These events can also be a great time to make contacts with people who provide information or training and can be an excellent way of locating established vendors that could be beneficial for your own business.
Business networking is about building relationships and friendships with other like-minded business people in your local community. Effective networking is most often successful by assisting other business owners in building their business by referring customers or helping to promote their businesses in a positive way.
Networking on the West Side of the Lake is especially important for small businesses. Most customers of small businesses are likely to have come from word-of-mouth referrals, and the networking socials are the perfect place to get that word out there. The socials that the Lake West Chamber of Commerce host are also a great place for job placement, whether you are looking for employment or you are a business owner that needs job positions filled. Business networking is also a great way to stay informed and up to date with current developments, trends, and practices.
Being prepared is crucial when you attend a business networking social. Having clear goals and a marketing strategy is key when you are interacting with other businesspeople. Being able to present your business in an informative and professional manner by letting them know what a great product or service you offer, will definitely get you noticed, which in turn will help the success of your business going forward.
Business networking doesn’t only happen at the networking socials – you can promote your business just about anywhere! There are plenty of opportunities to discuss your business – think about your child’s school activities or sporting events – even at the gym where there are lots of people in attendance!
No matter where your business networking takes place, it’s important that you follow up with any leads you make, as well as any businesses you may be able to help with the services your business provides.
The Lake West Chamber is all about building community and we are always available to assist you with questions you may have and send you in the right direction to find the answers you are looking for.
