It’s All About PR
You learn that, in the book world, PR is everything. When you walk into a bookstore, you are walking into a treasure house of 140,000 books. Online at amazon.com, there are 2.5 million books.

10 Steps to Successful Networking
This old saying rings true in everything we do, especially in business. Finding contacts is key to the success of your business, and a great place to meet these contacts is at networking meetings or events. It is not enough just to attend networking gatherings, you need to know how to network. There are many sources of networking tips and information, but the following are ten tips that I find most useful.
Networking for Fun & Profit
Networking events can work for both business-to-consumer (B-to-C) and business-to-business (B-to-B) companies. Some of these events have a theme; such as industry (hospitality firms), descriptive (marketing firms), or location (businesses on the west side of town). Your local business press should print the networking groups in your area along with the day, time and location of their meetings. Many networking groups are local, while others are national lead exchange groups such as Le Tip and BNI.
Master Your Game: Meeting Effectiveness
Excellent meetings are productive, engaging, and synergistic; participants emerge from these sessions filled with great enthusiasm, energy, and a greater clarity of purpose. Effective meetings facilitate collective decisions that people will actively support by following through and taking action. Unfortunately, not all meetings are effective. Meetings can be energy-draining, time-wasting and costly.

4 Power Networking Strategies for Successful Self Employed Women
Many of the women who work with me are shy. And so was I when I first left my “job job” and began networking. When I worked in the university setting, the only networking I did was at conferences where we’d share our curriculum and research findings with others… it didn’t feel like "selling”. When I left behind that “academic identity” 10 years ago, I knew it would be important for me to get out and meet people to share information about my career coaching services and to establish myself as an expert in this field that was new to me. I was quite nervous about this activity but recognized the value enough to talk myself into attending 3 different networking meetings each month. This week, I want to share what I learned with you about what works in networking.

Never Leave a Meeting Feeling Good
Do your meetings result in everyone feeling good after they leave? Does very little get done in your meetings? If so, your meetings function like most, and they are probably worthless! Most often leaders are concerned with there being too many meetings, or meetings being too long, or some other wrong measurement. I would like to suggest that you change your measurement systems. For example, a good leading indicator that something important is being discussed is conflict. Other indicators of good meetings are the number of decisions made and the number of people held accountable for decisions made at the prior meetings. These are real indicators that your meetings are worthwhile. If you have a really good meeting, then everyone leaves feeling uncomfortable because there is so much more to be done, and they have a stake in it!

Are We Online Network Marketers Destined To Become Members Of The Lonely Hearts Club Band?
At times as we work our network marketing businesses, we can get a feeling of loneliness. Gone are the traditional ways we market our business having meetings practically every night of the week. These meetings being replaced by online webinars and conference calls. Gone too are the social “meetings after the meetings”.
The Dreaded Monday Morning Sales Meeting
Do They GET TO GO or HAVE TO GO? For years as a speaker/trainer/coach, salespeople have approached me with feedback regarding their regular company sales meetings. This is what I hear: -The meetings are boring with little to no direction -The meetings turn into individual gripe sessions -The meetings turn into complaint sessions by management -The meetings tend to “bring down” the reps rather than “pump up” the reps -The meetings tend to be filled with reports, data, stats, and rules -The meetings never start on time -The meetings never follow an agenda -The meetings never end on time Does any of this sound familiar to you? Do your people tend to “go through the motions” in your sales meetings? Do they complain about having to come to these meetings regularly? Do you sometimes agree with them?

Networking Like It’s Your Party
We all go to a variety of networking functions: mixers, meetings, seminars, conferences. Just showing up certainly doesn’t guarantee anything. What if you treated the next networking function like it was your party? That means it’s your responsibility to meet and greet everyone in the room.

Making Newsletters Work for You
There are many marketing methods available to help you promote your business.. Whether a brochure, web site or other promotional items, how do you decide which method will work best for you? Networking, cold calling, client meetings are all fundamental to business development, but they leave little time to meet the large number of prospects needed to adequately grow your business. A company newsletter has the ability to expose your service or product to more people in less time than traditional marketing methods such as networking or client meetings; and is less expensive than paid advertising.

Be a Greeter
Make the most of all networking events and seminars and meetings you attend by meeting people by being a greeter.
