<p class="MsoNormal">Between dealing with new contactless delivery of service, managing social distancing as you reopen your doors, and even coping with all the changes to your personal life, networking might be taking a low priority in your world right now.
Unfortunately, that's the exact opposite of what you need.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your network has the answers to many of the challenges you are facing and, unless you take a proactive role in the process, it will begin to evaporate, taking all the resources you need with it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greg Peters, the Reluctant Networker, has a few ideas that can help you build your connections even if you can't be in front of them right now.<o:p></o:p></p>
