Notice your everyday contacts and the potential for expanding your network. Become assertive in promoting yourself. Telling people what you do and what you have to offer is an important part of networking. You do not have to be an egotist or a huckster to be a good marketer. Create business cards that look good and describe clearly who you are and what you do.
Business cards are an important means of exchanging information.
They should be designed carefully and printed on quality stationery. Carry plenty of business cards. Give them out at the appropriate time after a rapport has been developed. Enclosed several business cards in your correspondence. Referral sources often keep one business card for their files and distribute other cards to potential clients.
