Face-to-face interactions not only facilitate the sharing of valuable intel, but they also take a relationship to a deeper level of trust. What begins as an exchange of a business card may turn into a close, productive, business friendship.

All these positive things that eventually flow from a nascent friendship begin with that first welcoming handshake.

Yes, we’re all busy with our endeavors, but don’t miss out on a valuable opportunity to better grasp the intricate web of connections that hold a business community together. That’s why penning the next scheduled networking event on your calendar is crucial to growing your business and ultimately realizing your professional aspirations.
