Business Networking Defined

http://sbinfocanada.about.com/cs/marketing/g/busnetworking.htm

To really discuss Business Networking, and to get us on the right track, I found this excellent definition of what Business Networking really is.

It does answer many questions, but also brings up many questions and a world of possibilities (and topics for future posts).  On that, if you have any items you would like to see discussed here, let me know by dropping me a comment.

Business networking is the process of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with other business people and potential clients and/or customers.

Notice that I don't say anything about meeting people in this definition; the ever-increasing slew of business networking meet-and-greet events have given business networking a bad name.

The key to true business networking is . . more . .

My thanks to Susan Ward for this great info.
