A professional network is a community of peers who come to the table with diverse backgrounds, skill sets, specialties, and knowledge bases. Members are committed to one another creating a reliable forum to ask for guidance, give advice, discuss challenges, and develop solutions in a constructive, collaborative way.
BELONGING TO A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK LIKE HAOI EMPOWERS YOU TO:
Advance Your Career and Grow Your Business
Think about a challenge you are facing in your business. Connecting regularly with like-minded professionals gives you access to ideas, answers, and solutions that can propel your business forward. And it works both ways: you may have the key to greater success for a peer. This is your chance to share it.
Gain and Give Quality Referrals
One of the most powerful benefits of belonging to a professional network is that it can be an expressway for referrals. When your clients trust you, they’ll trust your recommendations. Your peers have access to similar connections, and they can direct business and opportunities your way.
Build Your Skills and Your Knowledge
Professional networks are fertile ground for growth. Often, featured guests will discuss topics relevant to your industry; you’ll learn about everything from onboarding talent and boosting productivity to social media marketing and insuring your business.
Educate the Public About Your Industry
Helping the public understand what you do, how you do it, and why is a critical step in building trust and credibility. Additionally, a professional network like Home Artisans of Indiana functions as a real-life Angi; rather than wading through the yellow pages hoping to find a suitable contractor, builder, electrician, plumbing supply company, designer, or landscaper, for instance, potential customers can access HAOI. Each member has a proven track record of service, reliability, and results. Homeowners don’t have to settle for “suitable” or take a blind leap of faith based on an ad. They can choose the best. You!
Socialize
Peer groups facilitate not only professional growth but give you the opportunity to form lasting personal relationships and connections. Whether it’s your biweekly meeting or a special holiday event, you can talk shop and get to know the folks who make your community stronger.
