Atricle Dump - 3 Easy Ways to Boost Your Business With Networking
As I have the opportunity to speak around the country at different Internet Marketing and Business conferences, I am amazed at the number of intelligent people I meet who seem to be desperate to earn some extra cash.The common challenge with most of these people is in their thinking. They don’t get that success comes from duplication, not innovation! They all seem to be trying to come up with the latest greatest widget, ebook, or software product. If I am describing you, I encourage you to STOP! The answer is right in front of your nose, the Facts speak for themselves, and only a fool argues with facts!DID YOU KNOW? "More than 724,000* people report that eBay is their primary or secondary source of income and another 1.5 million say eBay is a supplemental source of income. (*An increase of 68% since the last study done in 2003.)"AND"With over 1/3 of Internet users visiting eBay, that leaves growth open to the remaining 2/3. And wi

When I watched John Stossell’s show on the comparison between Michael Jordan’s Air Jordan sneaker line and Stephon Marbury’s Starbury line, I quickly realized that greed in America is becoming more and more the rule rather than the exception. To wit, the shoe experts cut open the two brands of sneakers and found that there were no essential differences—only price. That Marbury can sell his shoes for $15 while Jordan sells his for up to $175-200 per pair only shows that marketing hype is big business and that some people are just never satisfied in ripping off the public.The show piqued me in particular because both of my sons are big fans of Jordan’s sneakers and avid collectors. Both my boys work and buy most of their pairs but I can honestly say that I would rather see them putting that money away for other things. But you try and convince them of that. Personally, I like the sneakers and think they are quite handsome in their design; however, $150
Here are 3 easy and low cost ways to maximize your networking results:
1 - Follow-up
Usually, people like big events. They feel great when they enter a room packed with people. Big events are great if your goal is to get a bunch of business cards, but not if you are trying to get business. What do you do with all those cards? Be honest, most people put them on their desk or in a shoe box, eventually enter the information on their rolodex, but don’t do anything with them. Why? Because they collected so many that they are overwhelmed and don’t know how or where to start.. They just don’t have a follow-up system.
Statistics show that we need to hear or see a message at least 7 times in order to notice it. So if you follow up only 2 or 3 times you are losing business. A networking event is a way of introducing yourself and starting a relationship with the people you meet. It is definitely not a place to sell. That is why so many people are confused – they missed the point and wanted to sell right away. You may get a client after an event but usually networking takes time, patience and consistency.

The forklift is one of the most powerful pieces of equipment for any warehouse operation, and every manufacturing or shipping company will need at least one forklift in order to conduct its daily business.The operation of a forklift is of course quite easy to understand, and every person reading this article no doubt already knows what a forklift is and what it does. In addition to the traditional forklift, of course, there are specially designed fork trucks that have been designed for moving pallets around by hand. These fork trucks can be very valuable for moving products around where space is tight, and no special training in driving a forklift is required to operate this piece of equipment.Of course where large pallets, or large numbers of pallets, must be moved, it is the forklift that will be required to move them. Without a forklift it could take many, many hours to move products that could be moved in a fraction of the time using a forkli

Link cloaking is where search engines are given different pages to index than are available to web surfers. Server software detects that a search engine is visiting a particular web page and shows the search engine spider different text and keywords to what would be normally seen.Many so-called, Black Hat SEO companies use link cloaking to give their clients a competitive advantage when it comes to search engine rankings.As part of my SEO education and experimentation I purchased some link cloaking software. I have installed it on one of the sites I manage and I must say it works pretty well. I won't tell you which site in case someone tells on me and I get banned by the major search engines.I suspect the reason it does work so well in terms of generating traffic and leads is that I have loaded it with a lot of very industry specific keywords and word combinations. I find part numbers and industry jargon words work very well.These ke

The population count for Miami has about doubled for Super Bowl weekend. The historic Art Deco streets of South Beach have been shut down only allowing for the flood of pedestrians walking the sidewalks to overflow onto the streets.Some of the NFL Superstars and other Celebrities in town for this weekend chose to escape the organized chaos and relax by heading offshore for a fun filled relaxing day of Sportfishing. Capt Vinnie LaSorsa, owner of www.Go-Sportfishing.com, is no stranger to entertaining celebrity guests on his 53 Foot custom Sportfishing yacht.Capt. Vinnie LaSorsa says "I make a living doing what I love, when you do what you love you do it well. I know these guys from the NFL can relate." Capt. Vinnie's guests surely agreed. "He truly runs a professional, top notch Sportfishing Operation. The Guys had a great time and I'm sure they will be heading offshore with Capt. Vinnie next time they are in South Florida" Says New Orleans Saints Pu

2 – Join a networking group. Choose the best format for you.
Personally I prefer small events because I get more business out of it. That is why with Biba4Network most of my events are limited to 15 people. Even if sometimes I organize mixers - where I have 30 to 60 people - as a way of spreading the word and bringing everybody together. But small groups allow you to: start a relationship right away, have the time to really introduce yourself and your business, which is more efficient than speaking with somebody for 3 seconds, giving your card to them and then going on to the next person.
Recently, I attended an event, where there were about 80 people. I thought I was actually joining a more intimate group but it was too late to leave. So I decided that my goal would be to speak with 5 people so that way I would have the time for a real conversation. While I was speaking with somebody, a woman came up to me, interrupted our conversation and said, “I just wanted you to have my card.” She put her card in my hand and left. She didn’t introduce herself, tell me her name or find out who I was or what I did. But apparently her goal was to give out as much business cards as she could during the event. Not only is this attitude very ru
