Nurturing Advocates…

What I am reading:  Make Your Contacts Count (Networking Know-How For Business and Career Success) by Anne Baber and Lynne Waymon

Where in the book: page 41

 

Why I am reading: Learning how to network. Cause believe me, I have no CLUE!

 

Which quote: “Develop Your Relationships-Six Stages-Advocate= People who believe in each other’s character and competence.”

 

How this quote adjusted my thinking:     

I definitely lack in “advocate” relationships.  I am going to pay close attention to the advice on how to move relationships into this circle.  I am hoping that my lack of “advocates” is because my business is so new.  I have not been networking long enough to develop this level of relationship.  It will happen. I I want to monitor my networking skills to make sure I am nurturing “advocates.”
