I’m a great believer in the power of networking – the interaction and communication between human beings! Great stuff eh!
Today, something very powerful happened. I had a PR meeting with Linda and Eric from a new on line networking website www.network2day.co.uk
We chatted about various ways that we could help each other’s business and one of the things we talked about was Twitter.
I’ve seen my PR client’s exposure dramatically increased simply by pointing my press releases Twitter’s way.
When the meeting was over, I had a look at Linda’s twitter page. I noticed that of her 3 followers( she’s only new) one had the same surname as me, one was aleady a follower of mine and the other aroused my curiousity! It was for a dating agency called Elegant Introductions. Not being too shy, I decided to follow their tweets.
The power of networking kicked in – within 3 minutes, my phone rang and Louise from the agency was asking me about PR! So you see, from a PR meeting in the morning I ended up with 2 potentially new and exciting business relationships. Now then, how did I get to meet Eric and Linda – you guessed! From another client, recruitment expert Sara Eke. You can read about Sara on my blog page too.
So networking works! I’m a BNI member and every Tuesday morning I meet my fellow members in Morpeth to pass business around the table. It really does work for me. Not everyone however can make the committment or has the time to network in person so the idea of a web based networking site will appeal to a lot of businesses. So, I urge you to pop into www.network2day.co.uk and see if something magical can happen for your business like it did for mine today.
