| Article Title :: Everyone Tells You To Get Referrals - Here's How To Do It |
| |
| Everyone tells you to get referrals, that it’s the easiest way to build your business. But how many investment professionals do you know who get an abundance of referrals? Not too many. And how many producers work hard at it, but end up with little results? They join the board of a non-profit, they contribute to the symphony and get season tickets, and they hobnob in the “right” places. That’s a lot of work for uncertain results.Successful referral gatherers simply have their clients bring them more people. Those few producers who have a continuous stream of referrals have discovered three things that you too can use to generate that continuous referral flow.1. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Networking with a Purpose - Reap the Benefits |

Let's take a look at networking with a purpose that produces results.Know why you are networking. Before attending any kind of event, trade show, and/or gathering, ask yourself why you are taking the time to do this. Making a networking plan with goals that will add value to the time you spend. I often attend gatherings to touch base with people I know, plus meet at least one n (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Business Networking - a Short Story |
| |
| Here is a short story about one person's Business Networking success.Not so long ago there was a wonderful guy named David Mahoney. An Irish-Catholic kid from the streets of the Bronx. He set his goal at being great success in the advertising business. After working his way through business school he went to New York's biggest ad agency, figuratively flashed his sheepskin and asked for a job. They smiled and said the only job they had available wasn't for a B-school grad. It was in the mail rooom. "I'll take it," he said.He made sure the job of delivering mail put him in touch with virtually every person, high and low, in the company. He learned a lot by observing how the cr (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Networking for Success |
| |
| Networking is an art form practiced by many, mastered by few. Like anything, practice makes perfect. Owning my own company, I get to practice a lot.My favorite networking example is from the movie, For Love of Money. There is a classic scene where Michael J. Fox, who plays a hotel concierge, ducks into a helicopter owned by a man named Chuck. The helicopter pilot says to Fox, "How do you know Chuck?" Fox says, "I don't know Chuck. But I know Eddie Shackner. Eddie knows Jerry Levine. Jerry knows George Spitzer. George knows Chuck." The pilot replies, "Small world." Really!In its simplest form, networking is about building a strong web of relationships. Below are some essentia (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Too Polite Won't Work - This is Business Networking |
| |
| Following social rules for politeness does not get us what we want in business. Hand in hand with rules for polite communication, must be the rules for when to change those rules to suit the situation. Business manners are different than social behaviours.Waiting until someone asks us about what we do, rather than proudly talking about what we do to make our living, might be polite, but when we attend a networking function, we want to build a network of people with whom we can do business. Too polite is unproductive. Confidently telling others what we do, how well we do it and what we want to grow our business is more likely to bring the business we desire.When Networking: (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Joint Ventures For Increased Profits |
| |
| It was a revelation for me to come to the conclusion
that not all marketers online are my competition.
It was a 180 degree shift in thinking which prompted
me to join up with another marketer and work together
to improve both of our profits.Joint venture was one of the big buzzwords (phrases)
of 2005, and since I tried it for myself, I can now
understand why. Previous to doing my first Joint
venture (or JV as us marketers like to call them) I
looked at anyone who was selling anything online as
competition, someone to beat to the sale.It was a few months ago, Joe Hebert asked me to work
with him on a project, and when we got talking,
his idea was one which I had a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Build Your Own MLM Prospecting System |
| |
| Ok, we’ve heard it all before. “Join now and we’ll build it for you”, or “Join our downline building club and you’ll get rich”. In fact, I receive several emails per day promising some variation of these statements. I’m sure you’ve seen them too.Let’s be completely honest. I’ve even fallen for several of these lies and scams myself, and you guessed it, not one of them made me rich.I’ll agree, an automated system would be great, but the truth is that it will never provide a long-term successful income. You see, people want to work with people, not web sites or emails, and with a failure rate of nearly 98%, there’s no debate that something is not (read full article) |
