Broadcast Networking
Networking is the process of building strong mutually-beneficial relationships. In order to do that, we need to meet people. There are some interesting ways to do that, which I call “broadcast networking”- telling as many people as you can about you in a non-threatening, professional way. Here are some ideas:
1. Use community bulletin boards at local stores. These can be used to post your business card, lead requests , requests for help, for sale items, help wanted..all sorts of things that get your name out to the public.
2. Join organizations- and not just business ones. You can meet a lot of people through civic groups, religious groups, social groups, Fraternities, and other none business groups. Remember with these groups, you need to give first, before you can take.
3. Use the media- Press releases and news stories are great exposure. And don’t forget the non-business releases and stories you could post. These also serve to get your name out there.
4. Family and friends - These people can be great help by asking “who do you know” questions… Who do you know that lives in this neighborhood? Who do you know that’s a printer? Who do you know that’s looking for a babysitter? Who do you know?
Broadcasting your wants and needs is called “all out massive action”. Through this action you can narrow down the field of persons you wish to build stronger relationships with.
