Community: How to Grow Your Network

How to Use HiveNation to Grow Your Network

It's no secret that maintaining a strong network is vital for professional success. As a consultant, it is so important to make the right connections to enhance your projects. The HiveNation Community is an essential professional networking tool. Below are our recommendations for how to best utilize the HiveNation Community for networking.

Be Active in the Group Forums

Join forums that align with your areas of expertise as well as areas in which you want to grow. Don't be afraid to ask questions and respond to other members; everyone is here to support one another.

Chat with Community Leaders

Our Community Leaders are experts in their areas and have vast experience and knowledge that can be applied to your own career growth. Connect and send a message to the Community Leaders and make it habit to introduce yourself to all new incoming Leaders. You can also post your question in the “Ask Our Experts” group forum to meet many experts at once and engage with your fellow consultants who may have had a similar question.

Share What You Know

Enrich the HiveNation Community with your own knowledge and experience. You and your abilities are unique and might be just what someone needs to take their next step. Plus, when you share your knowledge through a webinar or live stream tutorial, you are also promoting your expertise to the HiveNation company database.

Keep in Touch

Growing your network is almost as important as maintaining the network you already have. Reach out to check in with your colleagues on a regular basis and nurture your connections. Don’t reach only reach out when you need something. Be of help to others and offer your services a few times throughout the year.

Be Kind

Help keep our SAP ecosystem happy and healthy. The SAP market can be very competitive but is ultimately about delivering results to companies. People who may be competitors today may be team members tomorrow. How you make other people feel, negatively or positively, has a strong impact on whether they’d like to work with you in the future or recommend your skillset to others. When you are kind and helpful, not only will your network and number of jobs grow but your brand will come to be known as a trusted business.
