Benefits of WiiN

One of the many reasons to join WiiN is to expand your network. Our members have access to contacts from across the globe, what are the top 5 benefits?

1. Expand business connections
Networking is about sharing, about forming trust and helping one another. Regularly engaging with your contacts and finding opportunities to assist them helps to strengthen the relationship. By doing this, you sow the seeds for reciprocal assistance when you need help to achieve your goals.

2. Get fresh ideas
A network can be an excellent source of new perspectives and ideas. Exchanging in confidence information on challenges and experiences is a key benefit of networking, allowing you to gain new insights that you may not have otherwise thought of. Similarly, offering helpful ideas to a contact is an excellent way to build your reputation as an innovative thinker.

3. Access new information
Networking is a great opportunity to exchange best practice knowledge, learn about your peers and stay abreast of the latest industry developments. A wide network of informed, interconnected contacts means broader access to new and valuable information.

4. Build confidence

By continually putting yourself out there and meeting new people, you are effectively stepping outside your comfort zone and building invaluable social skills and self-confidence that you can take with you anywhere. The more you network, the more you will grow.

5. Develop long-lasting personal relationships

Of course, the point of networking is to develop and nurture professional relationships, but some of the strongest and most long-standing friendships are borne from work connections. Your networking contacts are probably like-minded people with similar goals as your own, so it is very likely that your professional support network will spill over into your personal friendships.
