Question
I live in DC, and I can have access to key people. I am clear what is my goal for this next decade. I want to build and maintain a professional network in DC and in my original country. I don't want to just knock doors. I want to strategically know the people to reach, what is the WIFIIT for each network group, and how to maintain the network.
Answer
We are about to see the end of 2020 which can better be labelled as a “pandemic year”. Come 2021 we can include some of the strategies of 2018 in our business to help them grow again. Let us look at some of the strategies of 2018.
1. When your architects interact with people from other companies, it is helpful for them to understand your firm’s vision and to be comfortable speaking about it.
2. You never know who might be in the audience. Encourage audience engagement at the end and make yourself as approachable as possible.
3. Publishing online content is one of the fastest ways to grow your digital audience. Post pictures of your projects and work by other architects that you admire. Consider using LinkedIn to remotely network with professionals in a similar line of business.
4. To help streamline your business operations and create more time for networking, it is essential to have business management solutions that fulfil the unique needs of architectural firms. A cloud-based project accounting software like BQE Core dramatically simplifies billing, accounting, business intelligence, and project management tasks.
