Josh: How do you define Business Networking and why do you feel it is important?

Meghan Wier: Business Networking is making and growing business relationships - and it is important for every business, and every business person in order to succeed.

Josh: Can you share one idea that someone could put into practice that would help them to improve their business networking skills?

Meghan Wier: The best idea that I can share is to think of business networking as a part of your job. Allocate time to it, set goals, and do it every day. That means sending and returning emails to current and past clients/vendors/friends/coworkers - even if it is just to say hi.

Invest in some nice note cards and send an old-fashioned hand-written note whenever you meet someone new. Keep track of birthdays and send out cards. Set meetings with new acquaintances and meet them out for coffee - just to network.

Make networking your job and it will be a lot harder to put it off -- and a lot easier to be a success!
