If we examine our own experiences, we may realise that most times, we prefer to do business with those whom we know, whom we trust. We can know and develop trust thru the active action of networking. This is why building a good network will prove invaluable.
Another view of networking is that it allows us to gather new knowledge, new skills, new expertise from people with the intimate & specialized knowledge.
