It sounds so simple: you are building up visibility and credibility and then you can profit. Even though it sounds cynical, is has to be taken in the right spirit. The strange part is that even though most people can recognize the process, I see people forgetting it over and over again.
A lot of people think they can just bump into people and then expect them to make an effort for them. That is rarely the case. That is why networking requires a lot of patience, involvement and time. This is also one of the reasons why you shouldn’t wait to create a network until you need help or constructive discussion.
If you haven’t already started, then start now - it pays off! Remember the opening line “How can I help you”. In this way, you will quickly build up trust and a close relation that makes people want to help you when you need help.
There is a personal and often overlooked side benefit by helping others. The moment you help another person or do him a favor, your brain releases the substance dopamine. A substance released when you perform an action connected to the experience of well-being. This means that the brain releases the transmitter substance when you do other people a favor or make them happy. Therefore, to help others is a win-win situation for both you and the person who will get a positive experience or feeling.
Always keep smiling!
human relation is about giving and not thinking about taking. thats why i am not good in networking !
Being aware of this is the first step :)
That is indeed one of the problems of any community. People rely on other like it would be mandatory to get some help. In reality, things look different. People help successful people rather than weak ones.
how would you define successful and how would you define weak people?
