The benefits of networking are critical to anyone looking for personal growth and business development.

With more women than ever building their business within Real Estate the importance of networking is vital for growth and making new connections.

The ideal outcome is to build long-term connections with people you can learn from or assist, and potentially the same in return.  

It is the perfect opportunity to exchange past experiences, things you have learnt, best practice and learn techniques from others.

There are also chances to gain a different perspective, which can in turn help you to grow in directions you may not have previously considered. 

While the idea of networking can leave some feeling uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Like anything in life networking and becoming comfortable with it takes practice and something you will learn.

Studies show that 85 per cent of jobs go unadvertised, meaning networking is an integral part of career progression.

Preparing yourself to attend events and having some key conversations starters can be a helpful way to get conversations started with new people you are meeting as well as give yourself the chance to be remembered. 

Putting yourself out there can be intimidating, especially if you aren’t an extrovert.

Attending with a friend, family member or colleague can help ease the nerves of extending your networking and attending an event.

Alternatively, we now have so many options to networking online, whether it be via online events, Facebook groups or Linkedin. 

Remember events are not only for gaining exposure but to build connections.

It is natural that attending events and networking will lead to opportunities but be open to what and how that might look.

Regularly attending events and reaching out to others will help you build a reputation so ensure you are offering knowledge and support to others.
