Make Connections One of the benefits of building a quality network is that you can connect people together. It’s important that you develop a variety of relationships with people who work in different industries, have various skill sets or hold a variety of business positions. With this type of network, it will be easier to find the right people to bring together. Before you connect others, make sure you qualify each person. Otherwise, you may not make the best associations. You want people to have faith that you are making helpful and worthwhile connections. Once this happens, your credibility will increase and people will use you as a resource to meet certain people. It’s a good feeling to help others. Share your network when it’s appropriate. Don’t view your network as a resource just for you. Instead, view it as a tool you can use not only to help yourself but also to help others. Final Thought Becoming a trusted resource is an honor throughout life and networking. If you spend the time helping others, becoming a subject expert and making connections, people will highly regard you and come to you for resources. So long as you extend yourself to others, you will be seen as a giver rather than a taker. This is very important in networking circles. Over time, your good deeds will not be forgotten and people will help you when you need them.
