A Guide to Networking for Business Professionals

Networking is very important to professionals looking to break into new industries and those looking to improve professional connections. There are many different ways to network, including online networking, as well as more traditional methods. With the increased presence of the Internet, professionals have recognized the importance of Internet networking, but have failed to implement creative networking forums with staying power that function to benefit professionals. Networking is a means of sharing information between group members with a common interest. For the purposes meeting new business professionals and marketing one’s self as a professional, networking is very useful and can help prospective employees find the right business opportunity to suite their skills. Studies have shown that people who effectively market their skills set through professional networking are at least 12 times more likely to get positive result than those who only answer employment advertisements. With positive results such as this, it is understandable why people are so eager to utilize the Internet as a networking tool. During a time when joblessness is a problem for many Americans, marketing one’s skills set can make the difference between getting the job you want, and getting passed over for job.

Council Of Supply Chain Management Professionals Includes WCS Leader QC Software

Founded in 1963, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) is the preeminent association for individuals involved in supply chain management. CSCMP provides educational, career development, and networking opportunities to over 9,000 members and to the entire profession.

QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com) is dedicated to providing a warehouse control system (WCS) when it is needed and appropriate. According the Jerry List, "We are proud to be a member of the CSCMP. All of the staff at QC Software supports CSCMP's commitment to provide opportunities for supply chain professionals. Along with CSCMP, QC Software is dedicated to creating awareness of the significance of supply chain to business and to the economy."

CSCMP was originally founded as the National Council of Physical Distribution Management (NCPDM) in January 1963. NCPDM was formed by a visionary group of educators, consultants, and managers who envisioned the integration of transportation, warehousing, and inventory as the future of the discipline. At that time, physical distribution was just beginning to edge its way into the corporate lexicon and make its considerable presence felt in the business community.
