In a survey conducted by Alienable, 85% of small businesses indicated that word-of-mouth referrals was the best way to acquire local customers.
If you want your networking efforts to be a success, you have to be bold enough to ask for assistance. Before attending meetings or seminars, make sure you can articulate what it is that you’re seeking. Then, when someone asks how they can help you, tell them the truth.
