by blogmistress on January 14, 2009



Networking is probably the oldest, most accepted and least expensive way to market. *Professional Power CEO Lynn Gabrielson defines it like this: “Networking is demonstrating that you understand and care about people. It’s the soft intangible factors that build powerful alliances”. Okay, so it is a given that networking is powerful. Now, what about taking that to the next level. In today’s market, social media allows you to network with people you would otherwise have never met, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no constraints of time and space. We are no longer confined to standing around swapping business cards with the same people month after month. We now have the ability to exchange ideas and information with people everywhere.
