This is the BIGGEST Networking Revolution Ever. Don't Miss Out on the Amazing Opportunities Sprouting in this New Year.
What do Artificial Intelligence (AI), YouTube and LinkedIn all have in common? Each play a big part in the strategic networking movement that professionals are harnessing for explosive growth in 2024.
The Times They Are A-Changin’.
For networkers, it’s the best of times and the worst of times.
Coffee shops and cafes used to be buzzing with people meeting up and networking.
Nowadays, everyone is in such a hurry that meetings are skipped, connections are superficial, and relationships are suffering.
Or are they?
With the rapid advancement of game-changing technologies over the last few years, the business networking landscape is almost unrecognizable.
Just over the past 6 months, my strategic networking newsletter THE STRATEGIC NETWORKER has grown to over 200,000 subscribers by focusing on the latest technologies, revealing new strategies, and sharing key insights on the value of strategic networking.
The world is changing. Networking is evolving.
In response, I have divided my weekly newsletter in 2024 into three prominent sections I believe are making an enormous impact on networking environments.
In these areas, I will examine key strategies and uncover hidden secrets that I believe are foundational to networking:
Best Practices
LinkedIn
AI, YouTube, & More
If you have some new ideas or strategies to contribute to these topics, please let me know. I would love to share them with the community!
COMING UP: Next week I will share the final results of my “100-Day Social Networking Experiment” and what I learned. Lots of surprises!
Never forget the value of in-person meetings but embrace technology to raise your networking to the next level.
I recently talked to a seasoned professional regarding his networking strategies and practices.
He made it clear that he was “old school” and strongly believed that face-to-face networking was still the only way to effectively network. He insisted that networking with technology and on platforms were a waste of time, money, and resources.
Knowing a little bit about his background, I asked him, “That wonderful woman you’re with now … how did you meet her?”
“Ha!” he said, “Like I said, I’m old school! I met her at the finest restaurant in town. We had a nice dinner, followed by a lovely walk, and then talked for hours.”
“That sounds great,” I replied, “but how did you connect?
He paused. “I swiped her profile on one of those dating apps”, he sheepishly admitted.
In-person meetings and face-to-face networking may be your primary method for building genuine relationships.
But technology is the tool that makes it happen.
