Social media is also a great way to get recommendations, particularly Twitter and LinkedIn. Make it worth your while by taking business cards and visiting as many stands as possible. Meet in person. Attend trade shows. Trade shows are a fantastic way to meet potential suppliers.

Many companies do not pay for their assistants to receive training and they don’t encourage assistants to keep their skills up to date.

We’re either time poor and don’t know where to find quality connections , or we leave a networking event with a stack of business cards but no solid relationships. You must still do the work: Reach out, be social and have sales skills. Traditional networking is mostly ineffective. Do the work.
