This week will conclude my encore postings of my Top Ten Marketing Tips from 2005 (due to my office and family moving back to my beloved North Carolina) with marketing tips No. 9 and 10:
Top 10 Marketing Tips: No. 9 – Networking With Super-Connectors
I recently posted a couple of items on networking, one about normal encounters during your daily routines and the other which required more focused activity. A recent post on Inc.com’s blog highlighted an excerpt from a chapter of Keith Ferrazzi’s book Never Eat Alone which is called “Connecting with the Connectors”; that is, those who seem to know everyone. He calls them super-connectors. They could be headhunters, politicians, journalists, lobbyists, fundraisers, or basically anyone whose business requires them to know a lot of people. Getting to know and making regular contact with super-connectors will definitely improve your networking results.
