In this series, we’re talking about five steps to fruitful networking. The final step is Meeting the Needs of Others. 

As you meet with people, recognize that everyone has needs. This requires seeking to understand your new friends and then, listening carefully for their biggest concerns.  

My bride, Kathy, can quickly uncover a new friend’s deepest wound or recent concern. Within minutes, Kathy will be praying and bonding with them. 

Ephesians 4:29 teaches, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” 

If you desire your networking to be fruitful, listen and learn about the needs of others, Then do what you can to serve their needs.
