Our understanding of network is that it is a web of relationship that have the potential of to be mutually helpful and trusting. When you are networking, you are building and maintaining relationship by interacting socially with others.
The misconception some people have about networking is that it is a "Schmoozy" form of selling by pushing products or opportunity. Well it isn't.. and if you are using it that way, obviously you need to change that.
To be a savvy networker, you need to have useful information, working alliances , career tips and things that are letting people know who does what and whom they can trust. As a savvy networker, your information exchange provide both formal and informal opportunities for the development of long term relationship between clients and competitors. They encourage the sharing of personal and work related information which will build trust and and facilitate the succesfull exchanges of good and services whenever such needs arise.
As a savvy networker, when you are part of a strong connected social web of mutually supportive relationship; you have a greater sense of personal security because you know there will be some one there to advise and help meet unwelcome and welcome challenges faced often in their business.
So instead of doing any kind of manipulative marketing , create an arena where great resources and trusted information about people and what they have to offer can be found. Be transparent and honestly share your talents , skills, creative ideas of what you have available. As you do that you will become more valuable to your community and you will start attracting other great minds that can add to your savviness.
