Great stuff. In my blog I've included LinkedIn and FaceBook links, and it's amazing how many people join every day. The value of this was confirmed to me the other day when I needed to contact a high level CEO. I was imagining the standard rejection from the gatekeeper and then I thought, "let me check LinkedIn first, just in case someone I know happens to know this person. Low and behold, I had a first level connection, who introduced me to the CEO the same day, supplying a genuine recommendation for me at the same time. The value of this introduction could equate to many thousands of dollars. This is the power of the Internet in a positive application.

And in the New Commerce - that connection needs to go both ways - so that buying and selling are experienced as a partnership. And since commerce is one of the most basic forms of communication, that change of focus can create a far more sustainable world.

Everyone connected to me in my online networks is someone I know and trust - someone I would use as a resource for myself or a client. But my philosophy in live networking is a little different - I saw many comments relating to the importance of staying open - letting serendipity lead you to the contact you most need - and that is part of my "strategy". But the other is simply to always remember that I couldn't have gotten where I am if people I wanted to meet had not been willing to meet me, even though at that time I had very little to offer them. I now have more to offer and I honor those who helped me by trying to stay open to connecting with anyone who approaches me, not because I think they might benefit me in the future but because I don't know who they might benefit if I take a little time to share what others have shared with me.

I have been saying this for years "It is not who you know, but who knows you". The best way to create powerful connections of high value and "Quality" is to know your self. The more you know you and what you stand for the better you will be at attracting, connecting and networking with people who are aligned with you. Clarity is key. Be clear about what you want and the people you meet will be able to get you what you want quicker. Thanks Alex for another piece of great information! Dolan Great article!

I came for the education and left feeling I didn't meet enough people. I do have cards, and I know that from now on, my focus will be on the networking. Getting to know those in the know. I am grateful you were MC and also a presenter because your info has propelled me to do some new things with my business. Thanks Alex! Alex,

I've watched you build a network that includes many of the biggest names in Internet and physical marketing--because you follow those two principles: helping others, and getting known by them. In my own career, I'm on the verge of a major breakthrough because of this.
