When it comes to networking, there is never a bad time to find motivation. Sometimes you need to take a little step outside of your comfort zone to get started. Consider these outside the box networking opportunities:
Host a Customer Appreciation Event
A great, low pressure way to try your hand at event planning and to change up your networking strategy is a customer appreciation event. Avoid the pressure of building and fostering connections and simply focus on celebrating and appreciating your customers. After all, your business would not be anywhere without them!
Be Thankful

Maybe it’s time you take charge and host your own networking event! As the host of your own event, you are in charge of the guest list, flow and feel of the event, and, of course, the logistics (time, place, etc). BONUS: hosting and sponsoring an event sets you up as a business leader in the community and gives you and your business a huge boost in exposure!
