It's important to take some time to explore your options before committing to
a specific networking group. While it's tempting for a new business owner or
someone looking for a dream job to join as many networks as possible, a
better strategy is to target your time and efforts toward those groups that best
fit your needs and interests.
Many networking organizations will host a special meet and greet events that
allow potential new members to attend a meeting before becoming members.
Once you join a networking group, it's important to become a contributing
member. Rather than just using the association to further their own goals,
people who use networking effectively look to offer something of value to
other group members.
