Find Other Creative Ways to Connect In addition to managing your own e-mail newsletter and producing your own events, many other methods exist to enhance your networking. You just need to be creative and use what works best for you. Get in the habit of thinking of ways to constantly connect with people in your network. Creativity goes a long way and you should make sure you spend the time developing interesting and meaningful ways to connect. For example, before you exchange business cards with someone, write some information on the front of your card. Choose to write something that you discussed with the person such as a Web site, another person’s name and phone number or the name of a book. This is a nice gesture because it helps people to remember certain topics that you discussed. Also, this note will help your card stand out from the rest of the cards people collect. Most likely, the other cards people collect won’t have any writing on them. Part of networking is to make yourself stand out and this is one way. Another creative way to connect with others is to send relevant business articles either via e-mail or regular mail. Whenever you come across an article that you think would be of interest to people in your network, send the article to them. You don’t have to send these articles to everyone in your network. You could just send articles to certain individuals based on what may be of interest to them. This is probably more effective than sending the articles to everyone all of the time. By sending articles, you are showing people that you pay attention to their interests and actually care. Networking is about building relationships and this is one way to continue doing so. Final Thought Take networking seriously by finding ways to constantly connect with others. Like anything in life, you need to be spontaneous and try new approaches. Networking is no exception. With creativity, people will remember you. As a result, your networking will become more effective.
