While you work hard building and developing your professional network, how do you ensure they develop into long-lasting and resourceful relationships? One of the best ways is to focus on building a network of professionals in areas that are interesting to you and a passion to help you really elevate your career.
The YLAI Network offers key tips to help emerging entrepreneurs and young leaders sustain their professional network and make them beneficial for both parties.
A professional network is alive and “requires time and attention to stay healthy and relevant.” Making efforts to actively maintain these connections will result in a more meaningful relationship. Calling on your contacts merely when you need their assistance is insufficient and transactional; you must also consider how you can assist them.
It is crucial to keep up to date with those in your professional community. Always thank those in your network for their time and willingness to be a resource in your professional development. Success in every networking relationship depends on sincerity and transparency.
