About 6 years ago, I looked into how networking can help my business. I had just moved to a new town (Bacup). I didn’t know anyone. I was suffering from a back condition that meant I was in pain most of the time. I was trying to grow a business. My husband was working away for long hours. My son had started primary school and I hadn’t spoken to anyone other than the dog for quite some time.
I needed to get out and I needed to meet new people. I needed to start growing my business. I needed to build a community. So I went to a networking meeting.
Since then, my business has gone from strength to strength. Whilst the road hasn’t always been an easy one, we’ve now got a strong company that I’m immensely proud of. Business networking has been a huge part of that journey so, when people ask me (as they do often) ‘how can networking help my business?’, I tell them honestly that, done correctly, business networking can be one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal.
In this blog post, I’m going to give you the five main ways business networking has helped me to grow a successful, award winning search marketing agency. Read on to find out more.
