Time Management Radio – How to Save Time When You’re Networking

1 hour 5 minutes

There’s a saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know that counts.” Making connections with the right people puts you on the path to success. Knowing how to network effectively saves you time, energy, and money.

When you volunteer, attend a networking event, sporting event or even talk a neighbor, you’re networking because you never know whom they know. There truly are only 6 degrees of separation between the person you’re talking to and someone you’d like to get to know.

Success at networking doesn’t have to take years. The strategies you use make all the difference between wasting your time and achieving successful results. These strategies can help you save time and accomplish your goal of making the right connections quickly.
