Socio/Business Networking Etiquette


Add to Technorati FavoritesSocio/Business Networking Etiquette

As socio/business networking platforms develop for small enterprise development, key differences between social networking and business networking are blurred when approaching "socio/business" networking.

Understanding key differences between social and business networking as compared to socio/business networking are worthy of note.

Social Networking generally relates to discussions on cultural to political topics, blogs and marketing; thus, social networking draws like-minded persons to topics less related to enterprise and more related to cultural sharing. Various social platforms are developing, yet most are age-group related or multi-level marketing related. Social networking often provides very little opportunity to network for enterprise development and often involves passive exchange of information.

Business Networking generally relates to discussions on business growth and many are specific to industry. Business networking often draws those seeking employment, consulting and draws like-minded persons to topics related to business opportunity sharing. Various business networking platforms are developing, yet most are industry-group related or related to technical sharing. Various business platforms are developing, yet most are so general in capability that often they ignore cultural discussions leading to enterprise opportunities.

When Small Enterprises approach 'socio/business" networking and related platforms, confusion emerges as to how to act and what can be expected. Socio/Business etiquette helps small enterprises, entrepreneurs, small to medium enterprises and their associations to combine both social and business networking along with e-commerce, e-infrastructure technical capabilities that permit both active and passive networking.

So, how to approach participating on socio/business network platforms? Socio/Business etiquette!

Socio/Business networking is similar to meeting someone for a business interview at a lunch, dinner, breakfast - so, there are some helpful guidelines...socio/business networking provides a 20/20 or 2020 view of opportunities for business incubation, research, marketing testing, polling, and provides immediate opportunity to commercialize your products or services.

Meeting persons for a meal and conversations about business and culture may be challenging for many.

Some etiquette ideas about socio/business networking:

> Do treat your contact as though they are the host and deserving of deference and respect;
> Do not monopolize the conversation with your contact;
> Do engage your contact by asking or inviting their sharing of topics and interests;
> Do not feel you must lead the conversation, follow the lead of your contact to determine if they prefer to lead with either social or business topics (this will frame the nature of your socio/business relationship);
> Do follow your conversations with appropriateness and ask questions to get to know your contact (Where are you from originally? Tell me about your family?)
> Do not market one-way opportunities, socio/business networking provides opportunities to discover and implement mutually beneficial opportunities.
> Do invite! Find your socio/business networking platform that allows you to actively and passively interact to commercialize opportunities.
> Do not join a networking site or invite your contacts to networking sites that are passive in nature and only permit interactions within the networking site.

Follow @MyLymanBlogspot Small Enterprise Ideas? Bernanke's Monster in the Back Yard 2020TAGS Channel from the SocioBusiness Portal ...the unspoken opinion of what's the mess and who is holding the bags?   So, here we are! Capital for enterprise development is choked up because of who is holding the bags. With a common known fact that small enterprise drives more than 70% of the global capital, why is this force seem stagnate? Okay.  Let's blame the Federal Reserve types and other similar Economic Entities.

Iranian Regime's Own Holocaust - Watch Force Majeure

Iranian Regime's Own Holocaust - Watch Force Majeure What Hitler was to the World, the Islamic Regime of Iran is equally so! From a humanitarian perspective to a business perspective, the time to act is now! During the early periods of the 20th Century a fervor of hate spiraled from the Third Reich while most of Europe, the USA and the World slept. Isolationism, a nauseous taste from World War I, and a sleeping society of cultural elites from of all places such as Norway (Nobel Country and home to Dynamite) all lead to the absolutism of "it will get better," and "they aren't really killing all those people." Once again, just like the failed League of Nations, the World and the United Nations sleeps and watches the onset of a lingering World War; the difference this time? Nuclear War. What sanctimonious European countries are still doing business with Iran? What "bad boys" on the block are still causing trouble? What wacko dictators are part o
