To be successful in business, one must possess business acumen, talent and persistence. But in order to truly excel in your field, networking with the right individuals is a must.

Although networking may not be your favorite thing to do, mixing and mingling with people in various fields can boost your success in many ways, according to experts.

Entrepreneur and Atlanta network expert Corey Moore says that business professionals should expand their rolodex by getting out and meeting people. "If you network and meet as many people as possible, you'll fulfill the three c's -- client, potential collaborator or competitor. These are people that will help your business."

His passion about networking led Moore to create ProNetworker.com, an online resource center for business events. "I encourage entrepreneurs and sales associates to increase their businesses through face-to-face networking," Moore stated.

After all, it's not what you know but who you know.

This is why you should consider attending the Big Event 4th Anniversary on Tuesday, April 26 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm. This hugely anticipated event will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta Perimeter.

You will have the chance to rub elbows with professionals from various industries such as banking, real estate, insurance, tech, HR, benefits, payroll and many more.

So dust off your business cards, or create new ones and get ready to network at the biggest networking event in town.
