Networking vs. NotworkingBy: James Rowe, The Law Firm of Rowe & Associates
The choice is yours: you can network, or you can notwork. Lets be honest – these days, jobs and clients are hard to come by. For each opening there are probably 100+ applicants, if not more. The age of the internet has made applying for a job as easy as clicking a few buttons. This has proved beneficial for jobseekers, but employers have found themselves inundated with resumes from unqualified applicants who just clicked apply to all jobs on a search website. Sorting through the mess of resumes jamming up the fax machine and email accounts, employers often find themselves putting off the hiring decision due to feeling overwhelmed, or they seek another hiring route. Such an environment makes it hard to stand out from the rest. The same goes for self-employed professionals and small business owners trying to find clients. But, it can be done.
To make yourself stand out from the bunch, you need to be known. Employers and clients are more likely to hire someone they know and have met, and people are more likely to make a referral to someone they know and have met, so getting known is the challenge. Thankfully, it isnt that hard. I have successfully used a number of networking techniques, and as a result the majority of my clients come by word of mouth from referrals in my network. My most successful approach to developing business relationships and growing my network of influencers involves simple steps.
First, of course you have to meet the influencers. The best way to do this is to get out on the town. A simple internet search will undoubtedly yield a number of networking groups and organizations in your local community, or in your target geographical area. Attend these events! Charity auctions, community theatre, holiday festivals, parades and community meetings provide the perfect opportunity to network with your areas influencers. Many of these events can be attended for free. Often times you can probably volunteer in lieu of purchasing a ticket consider this option for more than the savings, because volunteering will certainly help you to interact with people on a more personal level. If you can volunteer to check guests at the door to a charity auction, guest bartend or even help to set up before the event, youll encounter some of your best networking opportunities. After all, volunteers are active in their community, so networking with other volunteers will help you reach countless other referrals and influencers.
When you meet someone, be sure to exchange contact information without really discussing much business. Try a more social approach. My rule is to rarely discuss business outside of the four walls of my office. That doesnt mean Im not always thinking of ways to grow my Firm and client base; instead, it means that I realize that the worst way to attract business is by immediately asking for it. Besides, I like to know more about someone than just what they do for a living. I ask about hobbies or travel. If I learn during the course of our conversation that they like to fish, camp, eat at new restaurants, vacation in Paris or enjoy the theater, I try to make a note of that alongside their contact information or on the back of their business card. At a minimum, be sure to ask for the persons email address and phone number, and give them yours. The easiest way to give your information (and the most professional) is by handing them your business card.
Within 2-3 days after the event, send a follow-up email to your new contacts. Send each contact an individualized email; do not just use a template or send one mass e-mail. These should be personalized based on your conversations, should reference the topic of interest to them, and attach an article or include a link to a website on that topic. Again, keep business out of these first contacts. The key is to personalize the e-mail to a topic of their interest, and then to offer to refer some business their way when the opportunity arises. A simple, short, two-paragraph e-mail may go something like this:
John:
Good meeting you the other night at the charity auction. I came across the attached article on fishing in Wisconsin, and thought you might find it interesting. I havent fished in years but think I may try to find a weekend this summer to do just that. I noticed you work in the construction trade. New construction, home repair, or something altogether different? Let me know, as I often come across people in the trades and would be happy to refer you where appropriate.
Again, good to have met you.
Sincerely,
James RoweThe Law Firm of Rowe & Associates100 North LaSalle Street, Suite 1010Chicago, Illinois 60602(312) 345-1357 tel(312) 896-0212 faxjamesrowe@rowelegal.com
Notice that my e-mail doesnt mention my business or request referrals; however, my name followed by my Firm and contact information remind the influencer of my profession and how I can be reached. Secondly, but most importantly, my e-mail invites (and actually requests) a response. This is crucial to developing a dialogue with the influencer. He or she should feel compelled to respond to your request for more information about their line of business, or at least reply with an email thanking you for the link or article. Either way, if they respond, you should offer a brief reply, and answer any questions they may pose to you in their response. You may find them asking you for your ideal referral so they can send some business your way.
One to two weeks after your first e-mail, youll want to send a follow-up e-mail to the contact telling them of some upcoming event that may be of interest to them. For instance, if you met them at a networking event hosted by an organization, a simple e-mail informing them of the organizations next networking event could serve as a helpful reminder. It will also show them that their business is on your mind, and will increase their confidence in you as a source of information and referrals. They are more likely to refer someone who they believe is in the know and may be a source of referrals to them in return. If in fact the person responds to your e-mail saying that they will be attending the event, go if you can go. A second meeting will cement the contact, and give another opportunity to network with the influencer.
Perhaps a week after your second e-mail or meeting, youll want to send an e-mail to your contact reminding them of your business and detailing those people who would make a good referral to you. In this letter, you can be a little more direct, but still, make it about them to a certain extent. Here is an example:
John:
Im trying to expand my practice into the area of representing business startups in their search for venture capital funding. Keep me in mind if you come across any great minds starting up a business, as Id really appreciate the referral. As you know Ive focused my Firm on representing the business interests of solo practitioners and professionals, so this is a natural extension of that practice.
Also, so that I can make appropriate referrals to you, how would I know your ideal referral when I see it? For me, its pretty easy: anyone who has recently started up a business, or is thinking about doing so.
Thanks for keeping me in mind. Hope youve found time to get some fishing in. Im hoping to go before the weather cools.
Talk with you soon.
Sincerely,
James RoweThe Law Firm of Rowe & Associates100 North LaSalle Street, Suite 1010Chicago, Illinois 60602(312) 345-1357 tel(312) 896-0212 faxjamesrowe@rowelegal.com
The above e-mail accomplished a number of things. First and foremost, it makes the ask for referrals, thanks the person twice for remembering you, identifies your own definition of your ideal referral, poses a question that again invites a response, and personalizes it by raising their hobby or interest.
Your next communication with this contact will hopefully involve an incoming or outgoing referral. Either way, to begin to develop a business relationship someone will have to make a referral. If you come across someone at an event that may be even remotely interested in something your influencer provides, i.e., boat insurance, then make the referral. Also, tell your influencer that youve made the referral, and let them know that youre just giving them a heads up that Bill Jones may be calling you about some boat insurance. I gave him your contact information. Hope something comes from it. Even if Bill Jones doesnt call, your influencer knows youre keeping his business in mind. And by doing that, youre kept on his mind as a potential source of business/referrals, so ideally hell want to reciprocate the favor.
Once a referral has been successfully made and the client retained whether it is someone you sent to him, or someone he sent to you be sure to set up a time to meet your influencer for a business lunch. Tell them youd like to grab lunch and discuss a little business. Clearly, if a referral has been made, you and the influencer have or share some common business circles, and you need to find a way so that both of you can maximize your opportunity to make referrals and grow your respective businesses or job prospects. If the other person connected you with an interview, job or a client, you shouldnt mind paying for lunch, as its likely the most effective advertising money you can spend. If you made the referral to them, they may offer to pay. If not, still, pick up the tab. One client or job prospect is worth the cost of his/her meal.
One last hint for lunch: talk business FIRST this time, and save the talk about fishing for the end. This wont be perceived as rude by this point because youve established a business connection by virtue of the successful referral. Also, if your lunch or conversation is cut short, or you run out of time, youll miss out on fishing tips instead of referral prospects.
In my experience, this approach seems to build strong business relationships focused on a mutual interest in the success of each others business and job/client prospects. Keep nurturing these relationships and youll not only develop clients or find your dream job, but youll develop your network and soon find yourself in a position to be an influencer and help someone else find their dream job, or develop their business much as you did yours.
As for me, Im always looking to expand my network of influencers. If youre similarly interested, drop me a note. I attend many networking events and could likely refer you to a few good online networking resources.
Best of luck to you in your networking. And remember, you can network or you can notwork.

For all those who have not been lucky enough to have great friends, holidays for solo is the most perfect way to meet new people.
Since single travelers do not have to consider the likes and dislikes of any other person, the type of journey they want to undertake is completely in their own hands. There are myriad choices available, depending on what one expects out of the holiday. Holidays for single people including all UK single travelers include adventure holidays, jungle safaris, camping trips, back-packing, trekking, traveling to historical or religious destinations, beach locations, hill-stations, ayurveda centres, a cruise holiday, spa-centres etc. For people relaxing and rejuvenating, booking a package at an ayurveda and naturopathy centre would be a good idea.

Local, national and international travel deals are so popular nowadays but there is a wealth of local deals out there just waiting for consumers to enjoy and explore. However, it is important to know that not all deals are as practical as they seem. You have to do some research before you try finding bargains for your travel.
Roadblocks to avoidWhile it is convenient to enjoy travel deals, the internet has also become the venue for scams and sneaky services. Some deals may look innocently cheap but then they actually just hid their fine print in the most disadvantaged section of the advertisement. It is important to check the details of bargains that you choose. Companies also need to earn money and you should not be too naïve to forget that important detail. While the cost may be cheap, you may still have to pay for additional taxes and other costs when you reach the terminal. Be sure that you review the deals before participating in any of them.

Hi my name is Evelyn Revallier, I was born in Paris, France which is very far from the sea. After my studies I realized that I wanted to travel and in order to travel long distancesI would require to keep all my belongings with me and so I decided to become a sailing instructor. The moment I managed to buy myself a boat, I took off from there no looking back and started training how to sail around the world wherever I went. I loved meeting people wherever I go and learned a lot from them. I have the love for the sea hence prefer to stay longer there by sailing. At first I wondered why did the Volvo Ocean Race had a stopover at Kochi then realized the overwhelming response the race received here, I was thrilled hence I decided to come to this part of the world. I feel that when you are sailing you are very busy doing stuff you love and you enjoy it too. I check the internet to check the weather if it will be suitable for sail and accordingly I plan my voyage. Thank you for watching.
