Networking Strategies

 

Abstract

It is important in all organizations to have an effective network so that one is able to have  avery good touch and communication with all theprospects and thus helps a lot in making sure that the business and theorganization grow well along with time. Networking  mainly helps in ensuring that there is great scope of business development and people get connected well so that as and when there is any kind of requirements they canget in touch with their network and bring out the best fit.

All organizations thus ensure that they have  aget together with their business partners every quarter so that their is network that is being maintained and all their requirements that are being there are being maintained from time to time.This kind of venture mainly helps them to have more friendly relationswith each other andthis makes sure that at times of needs both or all the parties are able tomeet the demands of all the parties who are involved. This also makes sure that if there is any sort of new venture these parties can get in touch with each other and get the issue resolved.

 

 

 

 

About My Organization

Our organization is mainly a manufacturer of GRP pipes which are mainly used for transporting of Oil and Gas and other Water and Waste water treatment plants. It is being made by a combination of very good technology which is being combined by plastic and polyester so that it is being made. Networking would mainly be used in our organization as it would mainly  help us to find new buyers in different countries. I would let you know through the  help of an example.

We are mainly having our manufacturing base in California and want to now expand our base to Asia. For that purpose we would be using our networking power so that we are able to getthe best buyer for our products and services that we offer. The networking would mainly involve the past buyers and other people who we have met in the past few years. These people would mainly help us to get good buyers in Asianmarket and would also help us to market our products in these subcontinents. Hence now we can see that how networking mainly helps in ensuring that there is great round of support an love for our products in these areas.

 

Networking Plan

As we have to now enter into Asian Subcontinent the first plan that we have to make isto ensure that in which country do we have to set up our base. Let suppose that we have set up our plant in India and Malaysia sincethese are the most cost effective andtheir would be great  amount of support for our productsin these areas. The second stage would mainly be in sucha way that we have to sue all our contact that wehave gathered over the recent years in America.This would mainly involve all the Indian and Malaysian buyers and suppliers whom we had met over the recent years andgetting their consent on the same. This is what known as then networking power andit would be only with the help of these people that we would be able to marketour products in the best possible way.

The third step would mainly involve getting in touch with the contact that they have mentioned in the meeting. They would have given the contacts of a lot of local EPC contractors andother kinds of engineering firms. We have to meet them up and give them a brief about the products that we are offering and get to know if there is any sort of enquiry for our products in their firms. This kind of activity is mainly known as creating a network and preparing ourselves for morenetworks that are their in the coming days. The last step would mainly involve ensuring that these networks are being contacted again so that wegetto know more information on the future of our products in Asian markets. We also have to ensure that these networks are being constantly in touch so that that keep us updated with the projects that re coming and this would help in making sure that our network is strong with all of them.

We can also use social networking websites or any other kinds of office networking websites like Linkedin and other sites in order to have  a strong contact with the local people. We also have to device our people in the local areas so that there is great demand and supply and we are constantlyin touch withal of them so that there is growth of our network in these areas.

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusion

I am now able to make you understand that how important is it to have  a strong network presence for any company. Network mainly multiplies in itself and the above example is a very proof as to how it expands from 10 to twenty and so on. We have to make a strong understanding of our net world and also we have to make sure that there is great care that is being taken so that these networks grow morein strength. Social Networking is also another major tool through which we can enhanceour network in the best possible way and manner. We also have to have great trust on our networks andthis is only the way that we would be able to have a great network team that comes to us in the coming days.
