What is ‘adding value’ in the networking process?
No man can clap with a single hand that is; nothing goes one way in this world. From whichever contact – you are expecting a favor, why should they exactly help you? Well, here comes the business term of ‘adding value’. You need to be of mutual benefit for your contact. The thank you cannot end in a dinner or bar. You need to open your arm of assistance when the opponent needs it. Once you help each other to achieve individual goals, the mutual interest turns favorable for more exchanges and support.
In case of a new contact, before you meet the individual in person, be well versed about him. Your research should focus on adding value to his or her life, and then continue to add value until the relationship is established. Once you do so, you may end up getting favors without asking for it.
