Some business people seem to have all the luck. The right people just seem to put themselves in the path of these lucky people, ready to introduce them to people who will give them all the business they could ever desire. Do you know any people like this? Then you should also know that it’s likely more than just luck that brings a deluge of referrals their way.

There are “tried-and–true” networking techniques that are so simplistic they seem that they cannot be really effective. Many times, we try to re-evaluate, improve upon and complicate them.

In his book What the Dog Saw, Malcolm Gladwell titles one especially worthwhile chapter "The New-Boy Network." According to Gladwell, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave a speech to former Microsoft interns and a young man posed an astute question to Ballmer. After that talk, Ballmer asked this college senior for his e-mail address.

A common assumption is that an extroverted, “people person” is the best type of networker. But this isn’t necessarily true. Most people who have started their own businesses and who depend directly on others buying their products or services have at least a certain comfort level in dealing with people.

When we were growing up, most of us learned to live by the Golden Rule:  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  Not "as they do unto you," but "as you would have them do unto you."

Quick, name three people at your workplace whom you look forward to seeing every day.  Now, name three who rain on your parade every time you see them. Which list was easier to generate? I believe it was Lucy of Peanuts fame who said, "I love mankind.  It's people I can't stand!"

When you tell entrepreneurs that relationships are the “key” to developing a personal and professional network, they often smile and acknowledge the concept without fully appreciating its true meaning.

There’s a very good reason why referral networking is becoming an accepted and important marketing strategy in businesses worldwide: it works.   Imagine being dropped off in a foreign city with nothing but a few hundred dollars and told that the only way to get home was to start a business and make a lot of money—in six days. Well, you don’t have to imagine it. Just watch the BBC television show The Last Millionaire.

I remember my first box of business cards.  I spent countless hours poring over the design and layout, considering each kerning of the font.  I wondered whether I would lose credibility with a potential client because my address was left justified instead of center or right justified.  I boggled whether to include my cell phone number. Of course, having just started my very own business, I couldn’t afford a graphic designer to work with me and quell my fears over the whole process.

All people at the work place work, that is, do their job; but how often do we think of how our work is in alignment to the business goals and organizational vision of our company. The question is do we work for work's sake or are we focused on business.
