Network With People Who Know Things You Don't

A diverse professional network expands more than referrals. It expands the systems, problems, ideas and resources you understand well enough to connect.

Why does this matter for your business?

If everyone in your network does exactly what you do, the group may reinforce the same assumptions. Different industries expose you to different ways of pricing, hiring, operating, selling, teaching and solving problems.

Where do businesses get stuck?

Networking becomes narrow when every relationship is evaluated only by immediate buyer potential.

What does better execution look like?

Build relationships across manufacturing, trades, finance, technology, education, healthcare, community organizations and other spaces where you can learn how work is done differently.

• Attend events outside your normal industry.

• Ask people how their business actually makes decisions.

• Keep track of useful expertise, not only potential leads.

• Make introductions across industries when problems overlap.

The Go Savvy Social point of view

A diverse network does not just create referrals. It expands what you know is possible.
