The Professional Networker, Inc. Helps Chicago Business Professionals

CHICAGO - The opposite of networking is not working.

Networking is an important skill that everyone can practice daily. Whether you are at the top of your field or just entering the workforce, networking opportunities are always present, but you must be open and ready to help and learn from those you connect with.

The Professional Networker http://www.thepronetworker.com, an online resource to help busy professionals prioritize which networking events to attend in the Chicagoland area has created a free user-friendly website that is especially useful to those looking to develop more clients, build their business or change careers.

“Networking is about being a resource to others,” said Sharan Tash, CEO of The Professional Networker. “Some rules of thumb include the offer to genuinely help others, consistently show appreciation, share information, respect other people’s time and always to say thank you.”

Professional organizations in and around Chicago can list their events for free at http://www.thepronetworker.com providing a one-stop place for networkers to check on daily, weekly or monthly activities.

Networkers can sign-in on the website and search for events by location including the City of Chicago; North suburbs; West suburbs; Northwest suburbs and South suburbs. Additional search criteria include event type, location, date and time of day. The Professional Networker covers organizations within the following boundaries: Lake Michigan on the east, the Wisconsin/Illinois border on the north, Fox River on the west and Kankakee on the south.

In addition to providing the most comprehensive events calendar in the area, The Professional Networker offers articles and resources to help improve networking skills. A bulletin board/listserv is also available to facilitate an exchange of business information.
