4 Reasons You Need to Be Face-to Face Networking

Today, everyone relies on social media for networking. They focus most (or all) of their efforts on meeting people online and establishing relationships that way. However, as business owners, networking face-to-face is still important for many reasons.
Here are some reasons that you should still be networking face-to-face for your business.
  • Builds trust. Meeting face-to-face builds trust a lot faster than online relationships. When you meet someone in person, you can start to build a relationship which can grow quickly and easily. Online, it takes a lot more work to feel comfortable around someone that you have never met.
  • Memorable impressions. When you meet someone in person, it is very memorable. You can’t get that online. You meet so many people online that they are easily forgotten. So make sure that when you go to a networking event, you make a good first impression.
  • Real. When meeting people, you make your business seem more human because they get to see a side of you that is real. Sometimes, there are so many businesses online that it is hard to determine if they all really do exist. Seeing the person who runs a business can help someone realize that your business is truly real. They are more likely to refer your business once they meet you in person. QUIT BEING SO FAKE!
  • Solve problems. There is no other way to put it but, if there is a problem with your company, the easiest way to solve it is in person, not online (especially when meeting for the first time). There is nothing better than talking through your problems in person rather than waiting for an email when you have a question or concern.

Listen up, networking face-to-face is REAL important. It helps to build trust and make your business real. People are more likely to refer a business once they meet you in person. Plus, how can you really solve any problems if you're not meeting new people that actually know the niche you're entering.  Now close this blog post and get on meetup.com, or...Watch our free videos to help your business grow through networking.
