V.C.P = The formula for succesful networking

I can’t find another man who could teach the rules of successful networking than Dr. Ivan Misner the founder of BNI Global Network. Fortunately this master networker was interviewed by Jack Canfield in one of the training programmes I am following. As recession forced business people to start seriously paying more attention to the power of network I trust that we have to learn how a network works. It’s in human nature to ask for instant results. We live in a society that has that “fast food” mentality which applies to every aspect of our lives. But when you want to network successfully you have to adopt the philosophy of the farmer instead of the hunter….The bottom line is that you have to build with patience and integrity your personal relationships with your fellow networkers, looking primarily how you can serve them instead of chasing up for a sale.

Dr.Ivan Misner gives the formula of the successful networking in three simple words.

V= Visibility. You have to show up in the meetings. From my short experience to business network meetings, I see that people who joined they aren’t present in every meeting which certainly doesn’t help them to build this solid foundation to network fruitfully with the other members.

C= Credibility. This is a challenging issue as to build credibility needs time. But allowing other networkers to find out about you, your skills and your successes it’s going to reward you massively in the long run.

P= Profitability. This is the outcome of the previous two. It’s not going to come if you haven’t applied the previous techniques. Here is the problem which I have mentioned in the beginning of this article. Most people are trying to jump to the step 3 before they have gone through effectively the 2 previous steps.

Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump and other winning business people have characterized 21^st century as the century of networking. So it’s crucial to learn and apply the rules of successful networking in our business.

Below you will find the link of Dr. Misner’s interview with Jack Canfield which I am confident will help you learn the skills for a flourishing networking.
