You've done it! You've joined the ProjectManagement.com community and started connecting with other members to build your network. Now what? How do you go about the business of building relationships with the people you have connected with? If you're having some trouble trying to figure out how to move forward, here are a few tips.
Offer Assistance
Whether you are new to the community or have been here since the beginning, we strongly encourage you to join conversations. Offer assistance to another member who is working through an issue or provide an answer to a question. Would you rather address someone privately? Make use of the Inbox feature here in the community. However, when using the Inbox feature we ask that you do so wisely. Please do not send private messages offering discounts on services or products or send messages that may be perceived as promotional. Make sure your communication has a purpose and is beneficial to the member you are addressing.
Share Knowledge
All members of the community have different levels of expertise. This creates a ripe opportunity to act as a knowledgeable resource to someone who is new to the profession or trying out a new skill. We strongly believe that peer to peer connections is the best way to gain knowledge and advance your career. Use your network to share ideas or collaborate on a project. Develop the relationships you create within the community and utilize them to move your career - and the profession - forward.
Contribute
You have probably had conversations with people you are connected to here in the community on a myriad of topics. You might have even joked and said something along the lines of "we should write an article about that!" Well...maybe you should! Collaborate with those in your network that you share common interests and expertise with. Create an article, white paper, or join together and present a webinar to the community. Share what you know or discoveries that you've made through your connections to contribute to the greater professional body of knowledge. You never know what other opportunities may arise from it!
There are many ways to utilize your network and build professional relationships within the community, and these are just a few suggestions to help get you started.
