Businesses Working Together through Social Networking

A few years ago I use to own and operate a mobile shuttle and valet parking company in my local area. I worked a lot with event and wedding planners and with local catering businesses to provide services.

One of the planners had asking me about working with their competition. I went on to explaining that your Catering company may be booked on a certain date or not available when you close for 3 weeks in the fall and that referring clients to the other company would in fact help your business by asking them to in turn do the same. Well seven years later these two, Blue Onion Catering and D’Lish are still working with one another and are very successful businesses in our area.

So just by creating relationships and networking with others, even your competition. You can start growing your business while others are still overlooking and not taking advantage of the power of Networking. By joining or by building a social network(s) of like minding individuals, you are creating a idea and turning that idea into a no cost cash machine.
