What Is Professional Networking?

Professional networking is the creation and cultivation of business friendships and acquaintances. Those who do so effectively know its value. It is the life blood of strong and stable careers and businesses. Unfortunately, for many it is one of the most neglected aspects of professional development.
If you are wondering whether you have a strong professional network, it is likely that you do not. For some, creating a network of professionals that they correspond with regularly is natural. If that is the case, use the advice in this article to augment your natural talent in this area. If you struggle in this area, this article will provide a great starting point. Use the information to help develop a strong professional network as quickly as possible.
 
Why Network?

It's not what you know; it's who you know.
This oft-quoted phrase has a negative connotation, implying that your talent is unimportant. This is, of course, far from the truth. Many years ago Mr. Mathew Moran, modified the phrase to make it more accurate:
It isn't who you know, but who knows you and knows what you know.
This phrase provides the clue to the underlying value of professional networking. A strong professional network extends your sphere of opportunity far beyond your direct contacts. Opportunities often arise as a result of one-off meetings, in which one of your direct contacts is meeting with someone you don't even know. During the course of their meeting, if a set of skills is identified as a need and your contact thinks of you first (because he knows you and knows what you know), it is likely your name will enter the conversation.
