Use our Networking Tips to Increase Your Visibility, Credibility – and Profitability.

Work Your Networking Muscles – And They Will Get You Work in Return

Our Networking Tips:

1. Arrive early – and leave late
2. Work the room – spot the connectors, open groups and “lost” people. Don’t barge into closed groups deep in conversation
3. Sit next to or talk to someone you don’t know
4. Bring a lot of business cards, and any marketing materials. If you think you are taking enough, take 20% more
5. Act like the host and not the guest – welcome new people, be warm and open
6. Book a meeting at your meeting, if you get the opportunity
7. Listen – givers do gain, hard sellers that talk only about themselves are perceived as rude and pushy
8. Have focus and an objective – what are you networking for?
   
9. Be visible, build trust – and reap the rewards. Trust takes time to develop: network regularily
   
10. Follow up, Follow Up, Follow Up after your networking event

These networking tips are of course not all there is to successful, profitable and fun networking. But with practice these first steps will get you a long way in establishing a good network and building trust – essential to getting referrals, making lasting connections and growing your business.

Best of Luck and Success,
Daniela

Hello Everybody, Hello Tribe! 

Thank you very much for all your kind words and wishes on my getting married in early September.  We had a wonderful time honeymooning and seeing our families in Europe and are now settling back into Sydney- and work-life.

So keep an eye on this blog, Twitter and Facebook for new posts on language and its sometimes amusing twists and turns, writing, web content, marketing, life, business – and of course fun.

Fun – what would anything be without it, right?

Until soon,

Spinning Your Web: How influential are you online?

Fast Company’s The Influence Project

The Influence Project is open to anyone and everyone. All registered participants will have their picture appear in the November issue of Fast Company as part of an amazing photo spread. The more influence demonstrated by a participant, the bigger their picture will be. Even those with smaller social networks can learn something about their influence by participating.

To learn more, and register your profile, go to http://fcinf.com/v/chou or click here.

Contributors may discover that they are more influential than they think. Influence is not only about having the most friends or followers. It’s about being able to affect the behavior of those you interact with, to get others in your social network to act on a suggestion or recommendation. That’s what The Influence Project will measure.

The competition for 2010’s “Most Influential People” ends August 15 at midnight EST. Fast Company has created a blog dedicated to the project at www.fastcompany.com/influenceproject, where coverage will continue through the publication of Fast Company’s November 2010 issue.
