For the network, it is important for people to talk face to face. However, during the internet, it is difficult sometimes. For me, I would like to expand the network all over the world, because people can help each other and get many information if you don't know the field. Now I loose the job, so I must find the connection for hiring or the career consultant. IF I have enough money to start up the business, I think it is all right. Now I cannot do anything. That's why the network is must important methods for me. Thank you That sound good.

Thinking about our inner network is a good filter for which networking groups we should belong to for referrals. I can see now that my membership with one well-known referral network was never likely to bear much fruit as it ddn't contain the types of people I needed for my inner network. Good sense, as usual.

It is so very easy to forget that all a prospective client wants to hear is what you could do for them and the benefits. Excellent reminder Dave - thanks !

Well I am technically if you look at art as a 'creative way of doing things'. When I trained to teacher I chose two subjects which in those days did not go together. You either did art or science; not both. I had to fight my teachers, career advisers and head teacher for the right to study art to A level without the 'normal' subjects - English and Maths and I chose Needlecraft and Design with Social Studies. Unheard of, in those days. I couldn't decide who to teach so I did a Junior/Secondary course. When I started teaching I taught English Maths, French, Re and History in a Secondary school. That took some explaining too. Secondary teachers normally taught a specialist subject. But as the years went on my unusual choice of subjects became more acceptable. For example I taught maths using macrame and taught English through Art. To complicate matters I started various businesses and today fill my diary with diverse subjects. One week could look like this: Monday am Writers' Group, PM FOcus Group on Health Issue, Tuesday am Writers Group, pm Local History talk, Wednesday am/pm Leadership Training Course, Evening Health and Safety talk to Beauticians. In all this I'm teaching art and the art of ie how to do things to the best of your ability, properly, professionally.

It seemed like you're suggesting we listen to the other person (which is good) and then tailor our own pitch to what we've just learned. A very common mistake in business networking is when people ask you to filter your network and only introduce them to the "good" ones. That makes your network smaller than the sum of the parts, instead of greater.

Its far to easy to network without purpose. The act of networking alone is almost pointless without skills. Thanks James Sandercock Photography. www.sanpix.com Good advice, great food for thought.

We also teach identifying target market as part of our 'Referrals for Life' training programme and being specific is so important. Even if you have a variety of products or services you may also have several target markets for each - having a clearly identifed, written and practised statement for each os so important to effective networking and word of mouth marketing. Keep up the podcasts - the business community needs it! Keith Nicklin Referral Institute Cardiff and Newport.

As you say there are a lot of reactive people who expect buisness to come to them without doing much about attracting it. I am also amazed how many people think that networking is a short term fix whilst appreciating that trust and respect takes time to be built. 1+1=????! Great Podcast Dave.
