The SDA Members Area & The Importance Of Networking

Social Directions Agency have set up an online exclusive members only networking club for anyone who is currently working with us or has worked with us in the past. Essentially this club was created to be the No.1 spot for all our clients to network with each other and to really feel apart of something that is growing and expanding.

Along with conversations among the group, this club was also created to keep all our clients up to date in the world of Social Media, since we know it can be very overwhelming at times. We will regularly be posting content and interesting information to help everyone along their social media journey.

The club can be found through our Facebook page, once you become apart of the Social Directions Agency family! So let’s get you all networking!

That brings me onto my next topic of this post…. The Wonderful World Of ✨Networking✨

Networking is not just about how many contacts you can acquire in your phone book, it serves a lot more purpose that can help create long term and reliable business relationships. Below I will highlight my top 4 benefits of networking!

1. It could open up a new path/journey.

Once you start putting yourself out there you will notice how many more people will start to notice you, either as an individual or as a company. This can in the long run help with growing your ideas and making your dreams become a reality. It can also sway you down another journey that you may not have ever thought about in the beginning but can be proven more beneficial.

2. Improves your creative ability.

Networking with like-minded people can have one of the biggest benefits on an individuals career or life choice. It has been proven that professionals that surround themselves with other professionals who are in the same area of work tend to do better in the long run. They can sustain ideas for lingering therefore will always be succeeding.

3. Growth in your self-confidence.

Talking about networking is one thing, but actually getting out there is another. Anything is scary the first time you try it, but once you do it you will quickly realise and start to see the benefits roll in. Over time, the self-confidence that you are working on can give you a number of opportunities, such as succeeding in job interviews, giving briefs to your office or even help to bag yourself a promotion. So the more effectively you network, the more self-confidence you build over time.

4. Developing long and trustworthy relationships.

Networking is not always as easy as messaging like-minded professionals, at the beginning, it can be very disheartening as your DMs won’t be flooded with people who want to network. But this should never stop you from starting. Once you start to nail down mutual network-driven contacts you will quickly build on these relationships that you know you can keep along your career journey.

I really do hope that you all get something from this short blog post, if you have any questions or need some guidance on beginning your networking journey please message us!
