Networking is a little bit like fishing. It takes time.
We need to pick the spot – find the right conditions for you
Is it fairly local?
Fair Weather, without any competition or potential snags?
Do we have the right tools? A smile, business cards, pen perhaps …
We need to prepare the pool to ensuring the audience know that we are regularly around and that we have a better chance with our cast (or message in this case)
The Lure – are the conditions right?
People buy seasonally, try and adapt your offer to the marketplace
Have patience. And throw the little ones back. It takes time …
After you plant the seed, give the potential a chance to grow, if the work on offer is not right for you, say so and point your colleague in the right direction.
You know they will be back and that you will be rewarded down the line.

I love the coast and in particular, the area in which I live, the North East of England. It's an uncomplicated life, for the past ten years I've been away from the 'big smoke' and I consider the decision to relocate my business to the country has been the best move of my career.
I write and have a lifetime of experience in publishing and personal development, I consider myself a specialist in helping my clients with memoirs - that could be a biography, or simply bringing a diary to life. I tend not to advertise my business, word of mouth has always been kind so it's no surprise that I do spend a couple of days per week networking. Peer collaboration can be very rewarding.
Therefore if you'd like to join me any Wednesday midday or Thursday morning coffee, please get in touch, I'd love to meet you and perhaps help in any way possible.
Thank you for stopping by the website.
engage, develop, grow ... with Go!
