the city!&#8221; We are all familiar with situations and sayings of this kind when someone gains a professional advantage through their network. It&#8217;s not uncommon for these statements to be accompanied by a little bit of envy.  <\/p>\n<p>But the real question is: can you blame others for networking and making good use of their relationships? And how can you build up a good professional network yourself and use networking to steer your professional future? <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7be0a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a7be0a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This much is clear: networking is about <a href=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/en\/magazin\/customer-relationship-management-focusing-on-the-customer\/\">relationships between people<\/a>. You know someone and they know someone and they in turn know someone who can help you with your problem. That is the principle of networking. Every new member of your network contributes their contacts. This thickens the network of relationships and opens up opportunities for new acquaintances. The result: you not only see an advantage in your job, but your private life also benefits from meeting interesting new people.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dc3960 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9dc3960\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_a_good_network\"><\/span>What are the benefits of a good network?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-752d575 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"752d575\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Good contacts are often half the battle on the job. The exchange of information and knowledge generates mutual benefits. Here&#8217;s an example: You have converted one of your offices into a small &#8220;recording room&#8221;, which you also make available to other tenants in your office building. The idea behind this? The equipment can be used by anyone. One person needs a camera and a green screen to take photos: You benefit by learning from them.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b209ed7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b209ed7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-668218754-1024x587-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34252\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-668218754-1024x587-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-668218754-1024x587-1-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-668218754-1024x587-1-768x440.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cb70a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8cb70a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_I_need_my_network_for\"><\/span>What do I need my network for?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dea0056 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dea0056\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The keyword is: goal-oriented networking. It starts with questions such as: What can a network be useful for? What do I want to achieve? What or who could be helpful? From this, you can determine which people &#8220;fit&#8221; best into your network. Of course, this does not mean only surrounding yourself with people who could be useful. You should also consider whether it would be more helpful to have 300 contacts saved in your cell phone or just 50 &#8211; but from people who are &#8220;good&#8221; for you personally or professionally.      <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it&#8217;s about a strategy &#8211; not about the purely expedient use of fellow human beings. Not that you&#8217;re misunderstanding the whole thing. Networking is about mutual support, sharing knowledge and the fact that you can often achieve more together. What do you want to build your network for? Are you looking for business partners, suppliers or customers? A professional network is not the same as a private one. Who could help you get ahead? For example, people who have already achieved what you want to achieve. They have insider knowledge and experience and can be helpful contacts when problems arise. You shouldn&#8217;t be ashamed to seek advice &#8211; everyone starts small!         <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd0d392 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bd0d392\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_you_can_network\"><\/span>Where you can network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48935fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48935fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are many opportunities to network. You just have to be bold. Start-up centers, regulars&#8217; tables, conferences or company events, for example, offer perfect opportunities to meet like-minded people. In some cities, &#8220;clustering&#8221; is increasingly being practiced. This means that companies from the same sector are grouped together in order to make it easier to make contacts with each other. This includes Silicon Valley in California, for example, where the giants of information technology (such as Apple and Google) congregate.     <\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s keep our feet on the ground: Simply eating together with other colleagues during the lunch break &#8211; a small step that may bring great benefits. Friends and friends of friends: this is the basic principle of networking. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c31029e elementor-position-inline-start elementor-view-default elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"c31029e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewBox=\"0 0 480.005 480.005\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 512 512\" xml:space=\"preserve\" class=\"\"><g><path d=\"M240.003 48a8 8 0 0 0 8-8V8a8 8 0 0 0-16 0v32a8 8 0 0 0 8 8zM141.075 36.656l16 27.704a8 8 0 1 0 13.909-7.909l-.053-.092-16-27.704a8 8 0 1 0-13.856 8.001zM76.567 106.875l.092.053 27.704 16a8 8 0 1 0 8.091-13.803l-.092-.053-27.704-16a8 8 0 1 0-8.091 13.803zM96.003 192a8 8 0 0 0-8-8h-32a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h32a8 8 0 0 0 8-8zM104.456 261.018l-.093.054-27.704 16a8 8 0 0 0 7.906 13.91l.093-.054 27.704-16a8 8 0 0 0-7.906-13.91zM403.44 277.126l-.093-.054-27.704-16a8 8 0 0 0-8.094 13.802l.093.054 27.704 16a8 8 0 0 0 8.094-13.802zM424.003 184h-32a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h32a8 8 0 0 0 0-16zM371.651 124c1.404 0 2.784-.37 4-1.072l27.704-16a8 8 0 1 0-7.909-13.909l-.092.053-27.704 16A8 8 0 0 0 371.651 124zM311.993 67.291a8 8 0 0 0 10.936-2.929l.001-.002 16-27.704a8 8 0 0 0-13.802-8.094l-.054.093-16 27.704a8.002 8.002 0 0 0 2.919 10.932zM256.003 320a8 8 0 0 0 8-8v-88h16c17.673 0 32-14.327 32-32s-14.327-32-32-32c-17.673 0-32 14.327-32 32v16h-16v-16c0-17.673-14.327-32-32-32s-32 14.327-32 32 14.327 32 32 32h16v88a8 8 0 0 0 16 0v-88h16v88a8 8 0 0 0 8 8zm8-128c0-8.837 7.163-16 16-16s16 7.163 16 16-7.163 16-16 16h-16v-16zm-48 16h-16c-8.837 0-16-7.163-16-16s7.163-16 16-16 16 7.163 16 16v16z\" fill=\"#fc7a7a\" opacity=\"1\" data-original=\"#000000\" class=\"\"><\/path><path d=\"M246.219 64.152c-70.611-3.392-130.603 51.099-133.995 121.71a127.998 127.998 0 0 0 46.643 105.082 23.842 23.842 0 0 1 9.136 18.296V328a24 24 0 0 0 16 22.528V360a23.848 23.848 0 0 0 6.24 16c-8.32 9.044-8.32 22.956 0 32-8.894 9.75-8.2 24.864 1.55 33.758a23.9 23.9 0 0 0 16.21 6.242 7.8 7.8 0 0 0 6.576-12.296 8.483 8.483 0 0 0-.896-1.384 8.267 8.267 0 0 0-2.224-1.456 7.853 7.853 0 0 0-.704-.312 8.483 8.483 0 0 0-2.52-.504c-.08 0-.152-.048-.232-.048a8 8 0 0 1 0-16h32a8 8 0 0 0 0-16h-32a8 8 0 0 1 0-16h32a8 8 0 0 0 0-16h-32a8 8 0 0 1-8-8v-8h40a8 8 0 0 0 0-16h-48a8 8 0 0 1-8-8v-18.76a39.769 39.769 0 0 0-15-30.68c-47.788-39.274-54.689-109.852-15.415-157.64a112 112 0 0 1 91.871-40.76c59.107 3.516 105.536 51.957 106.544 111.16a111.343 111.343 0 0 1-41.56 87.704 39.657 39.657 0 0 0-14.44 31.144V328a8 8 0 0 1-8 8h-24a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h16v8a8 8 0 0 1-8 8h-8a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h8a8 8 0 0 1 0 16h-8a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h8a8 8 0 0 1 0 16h-40a8 8 0 0 0 0 16h30.632c-4.417 12.497-18.129 19.047-30.626 14.63a24.003 24.003 0 0 1-9.942-6.686 8.002 8.002 0 0 0-11.952 10.64c14.631 16.487 39.857 17.992 56.344 3.362a39.907 39.907 0 0 0 12.864-23.21c12.529-3.916 19.511-17.247 15.596-29.776a23.761 23.761 0 0 0-5.156-8.96c8.32-9.044 8.32-22.956 0-32a23.848 23.848 0 0 0 6.24-16v-9.472a24 24 0 0 0 16-22.528v-17.832a24.05 24.05 0 0 1 8.488-18.696A127.241 127.241 0 0 0 368.003 191.2c-1.156-67.668-54.226-123.031-121.784-127.048z\" fill=\"#fc7a7a\" opacity=\"1\" data-original=\"#000000\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTip:\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat contacts do you already have?

A positive and open posture during a conversation is also helpful. Conversations are about showing interest, asking questions and listening. At the same time, it&#8217;s not about feigning interest or being pushy. Sounds like a lot of rules? Not really, just put yourself in the other person&#8217;s shoes and think about what would be appropriate and what would be unpleasant.

It is important to assess relevance and extent. The aim of networking should also be taken into account here: Partner, customer or supplier network? Good networking on <a href=\"\">online platforms<\/a> &#8211; such as Xing, LinkedIn or Facebook &#8211; can help you to keep your eyes and ears open online.      <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f30f78f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f30f78f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-847576432-1024x683-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34254\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-847576432-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-847576432-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-847576432-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Social media platforms: utilizing the diverse possibilities of virtual networks.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdd71dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fdd71dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_avoid_mistakes_when_networking\"><\/span>Tips to avoid mistakes when networking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e5658e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e5658e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Quantity instead of quality, but also being concerned only with one&#8217;s own benefit, can become a problem when networking. Taking the initiative yourself and not just waiting for feedback from others, on the other hand, promotes a lively exchange. This exchange is what it&#8217;s all about. If you ask for a favor from a colleague, then you should understandably accommodate them. In a one-sided benefit relationship, your counterpart will feel taken advantage of, and that wouldn&#8217;t necessarily be the best strategy for you either.    <\/p>\n<p>Networking has a lot to do with good interpersonal relationships. In both their private and professional lives, people will establish contacts more easily if they like the other person and have the feeling that they can rely on each other. If you are simply honest, not afraid of contact and don&#8217;t always think only of your own advantage, nothing should stand in the way of your network.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-764d7e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"764d7e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_big_is_an_ideal_network\"><\/span>How big is an ideal network?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa1aa9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa1aa9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A study by sociologist Brian Uzzi, which appeared in the American Journal of Sociology in 2005 (source: (https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1086\/432782)), suggests that it does not necessarily make sense to know as many business partners as possible.<\/p>\n<p>This study examined the correlation between successful Broadway musical productions and the number of performers who had prior contact. It was found that productions in which most of the cast members knew each other and therefore had an extensive network were less likely to be successful. Uzzi&#8217;s theory on this was that if the members knew each other too well, the necessary new creative input was missing to make the piece successful.  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, according to the study, it was also not helpful if too few of the participants knew each other beforehand. This apparently meant that the processes were not sufficiently rehearsed. As a result, these productions could not run as smoothly as they could because there was a lack of good contacts between different areas of the production. Therefore, if you have a good network, you should not try to get to know every business partner well beforehand, as it is often helpful and productive when different opinions meet.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36d17e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"36d17e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_then\"><\/span>And then?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a58be54 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a58be54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A high-quality network has been established. That&#8217;s great! Now it&#8217;s time to cultivate and maintain it. The sociologist Pierre Bourdieu described relationships as &#8220;social capital&#8221;. A well-connected network of contacts can therefore be regarded as a kind of capital. However, this social capital can only be used in an emergency if your network has already been established for a certain amount of time.     <\/p>\n<p>So contacts have to be long-term to be helpful. It makes perfect sense: would you give confidential information to someone you&#8217;ve just met? Probably not. And that&#8217;s exactly how we humans work: Giving, receiving and relationships between people are based on trust. However, this trust has to be built up first &#8211; and that sometimes takes time.    <\/p>\n<p>Assuming that a goal-oriented network consists of interesting people: Why not just write an e-mail so that you don&#8217;t lose contact with each other? You can exchange ideas, offer your advice or ask for some yourself. It is important to recognize each other: pure money issues are not necessarily the best motivator.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b4a073 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b4a073\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-849234128-1024x585-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-34255\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-849234128-1024x585-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-849234128-1024x585-1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leadpeak.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/iStock-849234128-1024x585-1-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The essential source of your social capital: relationships.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd13ab0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bd13ab0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_be_put_off\"><\/span>Don't be put off ...<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b1acf6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b1acf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is not a science!
