Make the most of networking by being specific about the kinds of people who can help you achieve certain goals, and seeking those individuals out, saysHarvard Business Review.
When it comes to networking, quality matters more than quantity. But how do you meet the right people?
One way is to ask for introductions. Reach out to influential people in your network and ask them to put you in touch with others. Be specific about the introductions you want and why you want them. Explain what you are trying to achieve and the kind of contacts that would help you get there.
Are you seeking your next job opportunity? Are you looking for ways to promote yourself? If youre uncomfortable with being bold, remember that people enjoy helping others and you can always return the favour with some introductions of your own.
