Business networking is a socioeconomic business activity by which groups of like-minded businesspeople recognize, create, or act upon business opportunities. A business network is a type of business social network
whose reason for existing is business activity. There are several
prominent business networking organizations that create models of
business networking activity that, when followed, allow the business
person to build new business relationships and generate business
opportunities at the same time. A professional network service is an implementation of information technology in support of business networking. Many businesspeople contend business networking is a more cost-effective method of generating new business than advertising or public relations efforts. This is because business networking is a low-cost activity that involves more personal commitment than company money.
Professionals who wish to leverage their business presentation skills with the urgency of physically being present
attend general and exclusive business events. Many business
professionals tend to prefer face-to-face business networking over
online based networking because the potential for higher quality
business relationships are possible. Many business people also prefer
face-to-face because business people tend to prefer actually knowing and
meeting whom they intend to do business with.
Face to face business networking is often facilitated by referral business networking clubs.
