Do people like you get business through networking

At a networking lunch yesterday a business owner asked me if people like him got business through networking. He was fairly new to business networking and wanted some reassurance even though he had been referred to the NRG group by the owner of a similar business who had done very well.

A couple of people overheard and asked about what he did and what he was looking for. They shared some advice on his answers and some specifics that people in the room could help him with.

Someone else shared how he had received many referrals and other intangibles in support and advice and said,

"If you have a viable business, are likeable and helpful you can get loads of business. If you only have a viable business but aren't much of a people person it will take you longer!"

Good Networking!
