5 Misconceptions About Commerce and Networking Debunked

How relationships and long-term strategies strengthen commerce and networking

10 October 2024 -

"Networking is just like working! It takes time, but the investment will pay off in the end."

Super happy that my interview about commerce and networking has been published on Hét Consumentenbelang 🤩

There are so many misconceptions about commerce and networking, and I’m glad I can bring some clarity through this platform. Here are the 5 biggest misconceptions I often encounter:

1️⃣ Commerce means being pushy.

Nobody likes annoying sales tricks. Listen to your audience and offer real value! 🎧

2️⃣ Commerce is purely transactional.

It’s about building relationships, not just closing a deal. Long-term connections are worth their weight in gold. 🔄

3️⃣ Only focused on the short term.

Quick results are great, but invest in the long term for lasting success. 🌱

4️⃣ Networking requires a large network.

Quality > quantity! A smaller, close-knit network is often more valuable than a large, superficial one. 🔗

5️⃣ Relationships deliver immediate results.

Networking is like working! It takes time, but that investment will pay off in the end. ⏳
