Signals United Promotes the Benefits of Networking
- The executives at Signals United shared the benefits of networking, which have influenced the firm's performance positively. The director of operations offered advice to people who are hesitant to connect with others.
Orange, CA, September 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - “At Signals United, we realize networking is a vital element of our business,” said Stanley, the director of operations. “Referrals bring us new customers, and new connections give our team members access to industry expertise that helps them do their jobs.”
The management team at Signals United understands that members of the organization are the firm’s most valuable assets. “We are heavily invested in our people,” said Stanley. “That’s why we offer one of the most comprehensive professional development programs in the industry. Networking is part of that effort.”
"Networking constantly provides us with new business opportunities,"
Stanley, Director of Operations
“We encourage our team members to attend a variety of conferences and meetings during the year so they can connect with their peers and industry experts,” Stanley added. “They learn new techniques, which benefit the brands we represent, and they establish relationships with others in their field. It’s exciting to watch them grow.”
When associates make new connections, they also represent Signals United. “Networking constantly provides us with new business opportunities,” said the director. “It is not unusual for us to receive high-quality leads that result in new business. On other occasions, we have been able to take advantage of other opportunities, such as joint ventures and speaking engagements. In those contexts, our team members get to participate too!”
Signals United Offers Networking Advice to Hesitant Individuals
Not everyone is an expert at networking, which Stanley and the leaders at Signals United understand. “Getting started can be intimidating, especially if you don’t have an outgoing personality,” he said. “Like anything else, once you try it a few times, networking isn’t as bad as it seems. The first thing you need is a plan. Before you attend any event, find out who will be there, and do a bit of research. The Internet is your friend.”
Another important tip that Stanley likes to share relates to setting expectations. “Networking is not a race,” he remarked. “You don’t have to meet 20 people when you attend an event. The goal is to make quality connections, so if you meet one or two people, you have succeeded! You don’t need to stay for the entire time, either. If you feel that after 30 minutes you have made some great connections, don’t feel obligated to stand around for the next half-hour,” he added.
“Another method that works well for any type of personality is developing your own ice-breakers,” said Stanley. “It can be challenging to start a conversation, so bring along your own set of pre-packaged questions. Topics such as food or travel are suitable, because everyone has something to say about them.”
Stanley’s personal experience with networking has matched the success he has seen at Signals United. “Networking has been a rewarding experience for me,” he said. “I’ve met some great people, plus it has resulted in some amazing opportunities. After a bit of practice, making personal connections is second nature. I have observed identical results in the organization, which has resulted in a rapidly-growing business and a motivated, energized team.”
