NETWORKING TIPS

Everything You Need to Know About Online Business Networking


We all know (and some of us dread) the idea of business networking. It conjures up an image of stuffing ourselves into a suit or pantyhose, going to events, wearing a sticker with our name scrawled on it, approaching and introducing ourselves to strangers, and trying to remember to keep our cold drinks in the hand we don't shake with.

 

Fun, isn't it?  When I tell people offline that I do much of my business networking online, they usually look puzzled. As I explain to the uninitiated, networking online is the same as networking offline, in many ways. You want to make contacts, build relationships, generate leads and meet prospects, and spread the word about your business. Relationship building and networking takes time offline, and it is no different online. So, let's get started!

NEWS -BLACK FRIDAY could be gray in 08

On the day after Thanksgiving, customers en route to Macy's Herald Square in New York will be greeted by the oft-frenetic Richard Simmons, handing out samples of Ocean Spray's energy juice drink.

But will customers — faced with shrinking retirement funds and job worries — have the thirst to shop? There's some worry that because of the deteriorating economy, shoppers won't turn out on Nov. 28 with the same degree of deal-hunting fervor as they have in years past on the day known as Black Friday.

The Last Chance Millionaire: It's Not Too Late to Become Wealthy by Douglas R. Andrew, Douglas R. Andrew
 
According to Doug Andrew, the bestselling author of Missed Fortune 101, too many Americans are being led down the wrong financial path.

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - Real Housewives causes uproar

Watching The Real Housewives of Atlanta, you might think it’s easy to get wealthy African-Americans to talk about money.

Concluding its maiden season on Bravo tonight, the reality program chronicles the conspicuous consumption of five well-off women who have ordained themselves among Atlanta’s elite. Four of the Housewives are African-American. But the show has hit a raw nerve within the black community — lighting up the Internet and the airwaves with charges that it perpetuates negative stereotypes with its focus on catfighting women who shamelessly lord their wealth and generally misbehave

CAR OF THE WEEK!! - 2009 Saturn VUE Hybrid Midsize SUV Available: Now

What Edmunds.com Says: Mercedes-Benz plans to begin sales of a gasoline/electric hybrid version of the S-Class in early 2008, which will be followed by several other hybrid Mercedes models. The new car, previewed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, will be the first hybrid model sold by Mercedes-Benz. It is expected to be the first of a lineup of advanced gasoline/electric models including specially adapted versions of the E-Class, M-Class and GL-Class.

What We Know: It won't be a full hybrid like the Prius, but this gas-electric S-Class puts Mercedes-Benz a little bit closer to the promise of luxury and a clean tail pipe in the same car.
