When I began my business as a professional medical biller, I realized quickly that networking was very much a necessity! This made me incredibly nervous. If asked to speak to prospects about the services that I offered, I was dead-on in every appointment! Prospecting over the phone was also a strength of mine. A skill that I found challenging was standing up and speaking about my business in front of a networking group. There are many networking groups out there - I happen to be a member of a few; BNI, a Professional Services Networking Group AND a Women's Success Netoworking Group.
Upon joining, I would spend 10 minutes or so each week before my meetings writing out what I planned on highlighting about my business during my networking meeting. This helped me tremendously. It forced me to refer to an index card instead of glancing around at all of the staring eyes in the room. Basically, it made me LESS nervous, feeling LESS "Naked".
If you are learning how to network your Medical Billing Firm, I recommend that you speak with or at least visit some expert sites. I found THE BEST resources to be;
