Will You Add? - The Difference Between Networking and Marketing
Most of my practice is spent helping clients design and implement mortgage plans in concert with their overall financial plans to accumulate wealth. Many of these people are focused on saving for important life events including retirement.It is equally important to have a plan for the way we'll be taking the money out of these plans. Four thousand people a day are turning 701/2, and an increasing amount of people will be faced with the distribution side of their plans, so it is important to highlight a law that requires clients to begin distributing some of their retire

Meetings, whether they’re regularly scheduled routines in your company or now-and-then get-togethers, can be a place for you to gain positive visibility and to showcase your capabilities. Here are three strategies that will help you stand out and shine.Do your advance work. In order to make intelligent comments, offer helpful suggestions or ask pertinent questions, you need to know a meeting’s purpose and topic areas in advance. If you have received a vague notice or agenda, inquire about what’s going to be discussed and what are the goals. You can basi
Networking is the art of making acquaintances and sharing information about yourself, your business or product. Its purpose is to build relationships that offer a mutual opportunity for both parties to prosper.
Marketing is publicizing a service or product with the intent of closing a sale.
In promoting my business, I use networking efforts far more than sales and marketing tactics mainly because it is fun and I love people. I don’t like to be face-to-face or on the phone with a pushy salesperson and I do not enjoy hard-sell printed ads that use in-your-face (blatant) methods to persuade me to buy a product. Many times these ads are boastful and make promises that I know cannot be fulfilled by the product. On the other hand, I do enjoy reading content-rich articles or listening to an online seminar or teleclass that offers good information even if there is a subtle sales plug in it. I also like to talk with people and find out more about them and what they do. Many times that involves the swapping of information about the services and/or products we each offer. This information is shared for the purpose of building a friendship and helping one another grow our businesses.
By letting me know what you do or have to offer, I will keep my eyes and ears open for someone I meet who might benefit from your products or services. In the same manner, the person I share my information with may know someone who needs a writer and because we now have a business and personal relationship, they will recommend me. After all, most people would rather utilize the services of an individual or company who has been recommended by someone we trust rather than hiring someone from the Yellow Pages. For example: if you need an auto repair would you rather take your car to the mechanic your friend has been satisfied with for years or would you rather drive into a greasy garage not knowing anything about the reputation of the company?
Ways to network
I enjoy reading newsletters so I have subscribed to several. In them I find people and services that interest me and I take the time to email or call the person to say hello. Many times I’ll offer to put an announcement in my newsletter or ask to interview them for my podcast, thereby furthering their opportunity to have their name or product in front of people on my subscriber list. In return, I have content-rich material to offer my readers and listeners. I always use a permission-based service to launch my newsletters. Spamming is no way to network or build a relationship.
Where to Network
The possibilities are endless. If you meet someone at the gym, or at school, or church, or in your social club, or while dining out, you have an opportunity to make a new friend and do some networking. Think of the times when you have taken a silent elevator ride with a stranger. Who says that person has to be a stranger by the time we reach the 7th floor? Most people know what an “elevator speech” is and a good networker has refined their one-minute blurb to a few concise sentences that explain who they are, what they do and how they can help people. Be bold and make the attempt to speak to people. Even if you only have one minute with a stranger, introduce yourself. Be friendly and always have your business cards handy.

That little tag line under your signature has a distinct purpose, and you can use it to your advantage. Whether you’re signing an email, a letter, or a blog post, your signature tagline should be brand specific. It should tell your reader who you are, what you do, and why you’re an expert.After many years of education, those who have earned them often settle for tagging on PhD. after their name to alert their adoring public that they know what they’re talking about. Years of experience give you the same kind of knowledge, experience, and expertise, and

Electric motors are nothing more than is a mechanical device that switches electric energy into mechanical energy by passing an electric current through a wire loop contained within a magnetic field. Solenoids are universally used in all types of motors from power door locks to starters and is a round coil of insulated wire used to create a magnetic field in the atmosphere of this current.Because a solenoid is a specially designed electromagnet in which a coil of wire is wrapped around a specifically shaped core made of steel or iron, it is an integral component in all

As the cost of office space continues to skyrocket, office managers everywhere are looking for better ways to conserve floor space. This trend has caused an extraordinary increase in use of vertical document storage systems in offices worldwide.Most filing and storage systems found in office supply stores are designed for letter or legal-size documents. The large drawings, maps, and charts required by engineering and architectural firms have been stored mainly in flat files or “pigeonholes” in the past. By storing the documents in a flat position, the footprint of the “

Otherwise, they may forget your name and web address by the time they have access to paper and pen to write it down. I give two of any item so the person I’m speaking with has a way to contact me and they have something to give to the next person they tell about me. Networking is a win-win situation for everyone.
How has networking paid off for me? I met the terrific writers in the Lieurance co-op through my networking efforts and I have learned a lot from each one. We have swapped books and sent leads to one another. I have found new clients through networking groups such as Meetup.com, Toastmasters and NashvilleCable.org. I have found opportunities for book signings, to participate as a vendor at local events, and to appear as guest on several radio shows. I also found a good friend and publisher/editor Valerie Connelly of Nightengale Press to publish my next book.
We all benefit from networking. Give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised by how fulfilling it is to help others as you help yourself.
