New Career Recruiters Report

OK, every once in a while it is a good thing to be lucky.  But it is a much better thing to be good at social networking than rely on luck.  An approach that is consistent and genuinely beneficial for the parties involved is a much better way to network.

Networking does come fairly easy to some. But to most it is a learned skill.  I must say it a skill that takes continual learning.  It is not that the game is changing so much.  The key is we have to continue to learn to keep reminded and further sharpen our networking skills.

1. Learning helps us gain knowledge we do not have about social networking.

2. Learning helps us regain knowledge we have forgotten about social networking.

3. Learning helps us stay sharp in areas we need to be the best social networkers we can be.

4. Learning increases our confidence regarding social networking.

5. Learning keeps us humble regarding our social networking skills.

Get good at social networking.  Being lucky is just not reliable…lol 

By becoming a good social networker you can assure yourself that the relationships you build will be genuine.  The more genuine relationships we develop, the more opportunity we will have to get ourmessage out. 

Special Note:  When relationships are developed properly, the people in your network will become your best referral sources.

Stay in the game,

What are people saying about you. I mean what are the people in your industry, your, clients, your prospects, your family, I mean everybody. What people say about you is how you build your reputation.

We can have the best product or service in the world but if our reputation is tarnished, people will pass on buying our product or using our service. Believe me a bad reputation is easy to get but a good one is hard to keep.

What we do to keep our good reputation depends on:

1. How much we beleive in ourselves

2. How much we believe in our industry

3. How much we believe in our company

4. How much we believe in our co-workers

5. How much we believe in our clients

When our belief is high in the areas I mentioned, our accompanying actions will lead to providing the best service to our clients. One of the key things about people who know they have a good reputation is they don’t rely on themselves to bolster their reputation. They rely on others to do it for them.

But how do you get others to speak own your behalf?

Here’s how I do it.

*I give people an opportunity to say it through blogs (mine and others).

*I give people an opportunity to say it through email.

*I give people an opportunity to say it through voicemail.

*I offer people the opportunity to say it in my referral process.

I basically look for every possible way to give people a platform to say good things about me so others can see it or hear it.

Look back over your blog responses, email and voicemail and I can almost gurantee you that people have said good things about you. In fact you might just find something good I have said about you.

Keep your good reputation,
