Many of us aspire to be successful entrepreneurs. Especially graduates from MBA Colleges in Kerala and India, who are skilled and well-trained, and who wish to come up with innovations that fulfills its customer’s requirements. B Schools in Kerala ensure that their students are part of a larger network with the help of seminars, workshops, etc. Building network connections have helped entrepreneurs get the suitable human, social and financial capital for their business, which lets them follow the footsteps of successful entrepreneurs. Well, how can one do that? Take a look:
  1. Start building networks from where you began the journey. Attending a lot of startup events, investor pitch days and workshops will give you opportunities to mingle with people who could have potential to become your connection. Start with those people whom you already have in place and branch out from there to others. Because starting off with new people could bring a feeling of cold calls and may not turn to be successful.
  1. Turn towards value-added networking by helping people first. Be someone of immediate value to your new connection as it helps them identify you better. So the policy is to be a giver before becoming a receiver. 
  1. Make truly useful introductions at the apt time which would create instances to connect with them. When there is a clear sense of value for both the parties, trust also increases among them.
