“There are so many men who can figure costs, and so few who can measure values”
It’s all about networking, right?
Today’s business world has been developed on a foundation of contacts, connections, and acquaintances. While the world of internet marketing and teleconferencing has opened up new avenues of communication, the tried and true method of being successful based on who you know is still poignant.
By increasing the number of sources of income for your business, and making connections outside the normal scope of your role, you can consider yourself what industry professionals refer to as a rainmaker. Open up new markets, sign new customers, and broaden the range of your business’s capabilities: that’s what a rainmaker does.
And one of the ways a rainmaker does it is by having a wide network of connections. This isn’t something that you can take a class for. You won’t find this kind of knowledge being taught anywhere. It’s just something that you have to garner for yourself, although there are ways that you can increase your chances of success.
