Rethink Networking Strategy with Legal Staffing Agencies

Networking is an important way to build professional relationships. Whether you’re a new attorney looking to create your network, or one with years of experience rethinking how you connect with other professionals can revive your network. The goal of a good network is to create a set of contacts with whom you can share ideas, projects and referrals. 

Begin by evaluating how you have been building your group of resources. If you haven’t been choosing the right networking events to attend, then you should form an idea of which ones are the most beneficial to you. Does the event relate to your scope of practice? It isn’t necessary to attend all events. Remember you’re taking this time to rethink and make changes to how you have been networking. Finding the right events to attend will cut out wasted time. If you’re not finding the type of events you’ve been looking for consider hosting your own. Go into these events with a positive attitude and open mind. There is always an opportunity to meet people who will be right for your network. Consider talking to people can provide a new resource. 

Next consider the first impression you are conveying. Some of these things may seem so simple, but they really do go a long way and people often forget to do them. Are you presenting yourself in a welcoming way like smiling and giving a handshake. Are you always clustered with the same people at events or are you making a true effort to form a connection with new people when the opportunity presents? Try to be the conversation starter and actually introduce yourself. When you actively engage with people they will remember you. Always close the conversation by exchanging business cards. Learn about the people you are getting to know and make a note of important information like birthdays. 

Make an effort to be available to assist the people in your network when they need it. Professional relationships are like any other relationship and require both parties to give and take. Even if you aren’t the source of solution, a referral or tip can go a long way sometimes. The Lawyer Exchange   is a great source you can share with other professionals. If you or someone you know is looking for part-time or full time help or maybe looking for work themselves, they may just need your encouragement to look at more info. Maybe joining a group like National Lawyers Association is what you or someone you know is looking for. They provide many services and assistance to their affiliates. 

Ultimately, being effective at networking requires you to get out and really meet people. Present people with the best parts of yourself. Don’t just sit in the corner on your phone, get out there and make real friendships with a group of people who you can help or receive help from when you need it! Expanding your professional relationships is all about connecting you with a variety of new people.
