Don't be Afraid of Networking

Because we live in the "Information Age," also known as the "Internet Age," there is a lot of attention being paid to social networking and Internet marketing. Though it seems a bit obvious that businesses and individuals can work together to achieve mutually beneficial results, there is often a hesitancy to incorporate new and creative networking ideas because people may feel it is manipulative or disingenuous somehow. The key is to consider the manner in which your business is beneficial to others and to keep these positive aspects of your product or service in mind. Not only is networking natural, recent studies show that plants generally network with other species of plants sharing valuable information. So, if plants can utilize networking techniques, you probably can also!


SHI is interested in being supportive of other industries and individuals related to real estate towards seeing a business environment that is both positive and fruitful for all involved. Networking is about understanding the importance of a win-win attitude and how this may be achieved. SHI provides a list of real estate brokers and agents in the Hamptons NY area and we outline unique and positive characteristics of their businesses. A simple example of mutual support may include something as easy as exchanging banner ads on websites. Another example may be the sharing timely and interesting news articles and videos of business activities. There is really no limit to the creative ways in which networking may be incorporated between individuals and businesses.
