This week's networking tip was submitted by: Catherine Jewell of Work Dharma Consulting

Thank you Catherine for such a great tip. I couldn't have said it any better myself:

"When networking in a professional association, be sure to show up 6-8 months in a row, before you expect results. After meeting you a few times, people will begin to warm up and share really meaningful information – some of which might provide business for you. A good goal is to have three meaningful conversations per meeting. Thoughtfully exchange cards and do some follow up – a personal note or email. Do this over the course of a year, and you have 36 new business associates!"
