What woman doesn’t enjoy a little time with friends? A little wine, some good conversation. It gives us a chance to talk about things we have been doing, in and out of our businesses. What if you were to turn that chance to gossip into something more, possibly a chance to pick up a few new contacts for your Rolodex?

The next time you think about hosting a party for friends, take a look at your business contacts instead! This might be the perfect time to reconnect with the people you already know and meet some of the people they know as well.

These contacts are people filled with information. Not only would you be able to share your knowledge but you will also be able to draw from the information they share. The ability to network is a blessing for many business owners, yet many communities still do not offer events or opportunities for the women that run businesses where they live.

By inviting a few local contacts to your own party you’re taking the first step towards creating a whole new network of contacts.
