Welcome to Social Web Network Website
The global economic recession is affecting many of us: companies have laid off people, the job market is one of the toughest in decades, people who still have jobs are afraid of losing them. What can you do to stay competitive in the job market and make yourself indispensable for any organization? Networking! It’s not just who you know, but who knows you!
During the past decade, I have developed over 10,000 direct business contacts in my global network and close to 9 million contacts in my Linkedin network. In this 90 min DVD “The art & science of networking and social media- a practical guide to your professional networking success,” I will share my personal networking success stories, and walk you through the process of networking and lessons learned in a fun, interactive, and stimulating way. It’s just like watching a movie.
After watching the DVD, you will learn
-how to set your short-term and long-term goals for networking,
-how to attract people into your network,
-what are different kinds of networking opportunities and how to choose the best ones for your goal
You will also learn what to do before attending a networking event, how to prepare. At a networking event, what should you do when you arrive, and how to work the room, how to start a conversation, and how to differentiate yourself and stand out in the crowd.
Do you know that after attending a networking event, over 90% people don’t anything to follow up! If you do, you will have a huge advantage right off the bat in connecting with the people you met. I will share with you when and how to follow up with your new contacts. Here is a tip: the best time to follow up is within 24 hrs after you meet someone important to you. The memory is fresh, your sense of urgency will impress that person. The likelihood of a response is much higher.
Finally, a lot of people feel intimidated by new social media. I will show you how to get started and grow your skills in using the social media tools for networking, which are powerful and essential for your professional success. I’ll show you how to use Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook to grow your network, increase your personal branding, and create new business opportunities.
Ultimately, networking and social media are about building relationships. If you follow the suggestions in my DVD and check your progress often, I have no doubt you will become a master in building your professional network and an indispensable part of any organization. I wish you continued success in your career and life, and would love to hear your success stories.
