How important is networking to you?

[RyanLanane]

The last month I have done more networking than I have done since 1998 - It has given me great results. I am not overflowing with work, however it is gradually picking up.. Offering to do a super small $10 project for someone real quick led to me doing a $100 project for them a week later..

I have had one referral come from a prior client so far, that's it - But I talk to my clients find out who they know and then I can approach that person and talk to them casually saying "Name" was talking about you the other day when I was doing some work for him, sounds like you are doing well for yourself..

Which inevtiably leads to, "What were you helping him out with?"

I wouldn't ever approach someone & say "So & so was talking about you the other day...." BAD approach, real bad approach, whether positive or negative things were being said, its a bad approach IMO.
