Conclusion 1: Your Networking Strategy Needs to Focus on Results If the networking strategy you use doesn't provide you with more work / more clients, then you're wasting time. Period. This is by far the single most important metric by which your networking activities should be measured, and if your results aren't increasing over time, then it's time to stop wasting time on that activity and move on. The way to ensure that you'll have more work / clients in your practice is simply to focus on providing a valuable service.
