In my last post I mentioned an event that Andy Lopata and I spoke at.
Andy finished with a great quote from an old proverb;
If you want to be prosperous for a year, grow grain.
If you want to be prosperous for ten years, grow trees.
If you want to be prosperous for a lifetime, grow people.
Good Networking!

How many people does it take for a good networking meeting?
I attended a networking showcase event recently where a number of us introduced our own business networking organisations. Andy Lopata also spoke and mentioned a great networking event that he attends every month where there are just 2 attendees, Andy and I. We are at the stage where we advocate each other and every month we progress our business relationship further. Our 121 meeting is very productive in generating referrals. Andy mentioned one instance where my referral led him to business in an organisation he had been targetting for 4 years.
Next time you find yourself asking 'how many people will be at the event?' maybe think about another question.
'Will the people there be ones that I can build productive business relationships with?'
Good Networking!

Why offline business networking is vital for web marketing
Research quoted in a previous post, Word of Mouth: The real action is offline discussed how most business is driven by word of mouth.
The same is true about most websites. Most visitors find you because someone else told them about you. More vistors find you as a result of word of mouth than from the search engines! For small businesses finding the right networking groups and attending regularly are a vital part of your word of mouth marketing.
