3 Keys to Networking
By Brad Sugars
Personal rapport is vital to sales and building your business, and there is no better way to do that than networking and increasing the size of your “net.” That said, I’ve found a lot of people simply don’t know the best ways to network, or they see networking as something that it isn’t [...]
Networking Is Not What It Used To Be
By Ron Sukenick
Taking your networking efforts to the next level requires shift to NetBeing™
Handing out your business card at monthly Chamber of Commerce meetings no longer qualifies as networking. Today’s business leaders know that real, profit-generating networking requires more. More strategy, more connectedness, and more trust. I’d suggest we’re moving into an era where the [...]

The National Networker is both a newsletter as well as website portal for all Networking activity throughout the United States. Subscribers can read about Networking success by geographic area, profession or general interest without the hype, nonsense [...]
Developing a POWERFUL 30-Second Elevator Speech That Could Double Your Business
By Alan Boyer
First let me tell you what NOT to do. Don’t talk about you, don’t talk about your products. In as short a statement as possible tell them the measurable results you deliver, and who you deliver them to. Then shut up.
Don’t try to tell them EVERYTHING in one breath. Tell them something that [...]
Networking… The Great Equalizer
I read a great blog post about business networking and networking sites by Gil Pizano and wanted to share it with you.
He goes into a brilliant comparison of in person business networking and on line networking sites and the pros of each. He has a section that’ll help you to decide which form of networking [...]
Meet My Network
by Mindy Selinger
Are you a networking Collector or are you on the more choosy, discrimating side? With the growing popularity of online networking we tend to boast of how many connections, “friends” & followers we have. But does this in itself make us better networkers? There are strong opinions on both sides. I’ve always said that your network is like a dowery you take into a business relationship…but how large of a network can any one person effectively manage?

What Exactly is a Networking Event, Anyway?
“What?! I can’t list my event at Networking Event Finders?? Fine!… Take me off your list and I’m going to tell everyone I know NOT to use your site.”
Or they’ll say…
“But we DO offer 30 minutes of Free Business Networking before our seminar starts and during the breaks, so it’s a Networking Event and should [...]
Networking & The Buddy System
If you must attend a networking event with a friend, agree to this: Plan to look for possibilities for each other. I’m not talking about merely finding prospects, think deeper… think of alliances, collaborations, power partners. Split up and go in opposite directions, then meet up and compare notes. You may want to bring your [...]
Networking – Delayed Gratification
In 2003 I spent four weeks in the French countryside outside Paris, house-sitting for a former client. This was made possible because I went to a Golden Triangle Chamber of Commerce Mixer in 1997.
At that mixer I met … for that one & only time, a chiropractor who three years later (!!!) referred someone to [...]
