Almost every profession has a professional association or conference that you will belong to. Most of those conferences are subsidized through the support of vendors who provide products and services to all of us. In addition to their support of our profession one of the most valuable assets they provide you? They are a tremendous connection for you to have within your professional network.
A vendor partner travels the country visiting other clients in your same industry trying to sell their products and services. They are very aware of who in the industry is talented and a leader. They can be valuable to you when the time comes to move to another job or selling a product. In addition they are great resources to talk with when you are considering a potential move because they know, or have heard about the situation you may be entering.
Don't forget that you can be a tremendous resource for them as well if you are a satisfied customer and help them attract new businees. Never under estimate the power of vendors and how they can contribute to your professional success. The next time you attend a professional conference then make sure you stop in to meet the vendors and keep your name and/or your business active in their minds.
NETWORKING NEVER TAKES A VACATION!
