Finding new connections in your professional life is key to improving oneself. People create new friendships for various reasons.

There are numerous approaches depending on what someone prefers. Regardless of the approach, the following procedures will greatly improve your connection experience.

The first step is listing your purpose for meeting new people. Is it to learn new things or do you want to get referees. Whatever reason one must be objective as much as possible. Gauge personal goals against these five features abbreviated as SMART. S stands for specific. State comprehensively what and how milestones will be achieved. M is measurable. Goals should have a baseline so that a person can tell whether they have attained it or not. A is attainable. Put down targets which can be met efficiently. These targets must be realistic. The last letter is T which symbolizes the timely achievement of milestones.

Next step is to describe your connections. List several features you are looking out for such as the area of specialization, experience, achievements including others. Binding oneself to particular features will enable you to attract only relevant links. Before sending out requests, read their profiles. This is where individuals indicate their qualifications, interests, career among others. If interests rhyme, now somebody can request for friendship.

Next is finding referrals. Linking social media platforms suggest friends who share common interests as you. These suggestions could be perfect starting points in building your network. Further, going through a list of friends of your friends could give you more suggestions.

From this point, create more connections through your friends. Possibly, a few circles belong to a number of groups each. Similarly, each person is either employed or owns a business. Furthermore, others could have affiliations with established organizations. All these are extra avenues to establish new linkages. Follow, like and connect with groups or companies that make sense to you.

Besides groups, some circles are either employed or own firms. To be part of such companies, Google their websites then follow them through social media handles. From there, it is possible to share or comment to posts. If one persistently builds interest in a particular firm, it is easy to acquire partnerships or employment through them.

Communication is the key to maintaining friendships. Some people are lazy to type customized messages of invitation and rely on what is provided by the system. Most times, default messages are never noticed. It is advisable to write down a personal message requesting a friend to join your circle. There are numerous sources of information which will help you draft attractive emails.

Relationships are usually kept alive through constant communication. Encourage your circles to give more insights by liking or commenting on their posts. Celebrate their achievements by sending a congratulation message. Invite them to an interaction event. Finally, endorse them on a newly acquired skill.
