I was in the process of signing up for a Jeffrey Gitomer seminar when I received an e-mail about the success of your Washington D.C. site/event. Mr. Gitmomer would whole-heartedly agree with your philosophy....indeed one of his quotes is "not working....networking" and he contends that looking to help others "simply because you can" is the foundation of it all.

This week when you are on LinkedIn, or any other of a number of online networking sites, ask yourself if you are just collecting “links,” or if you are doing something to build relationships. If you think you might be collecting links, take the first step to building your network: look at your LinkedIn contacts and help three people just because you can. When you focus on helping others instead of yourself you are focusing on building mutually beneficial relationships.

The only thing that I would add is that I have found that when done correctly networking is effortless. You are your customer and if you are targeting the right individuals or organizations it should seem natural - regardless of monetary gain you would like to speak with the person anyway as their is genuine interest and sincerity. People will do business with you if they like and trust you. Great article as usual. The only thing that I would add is that I have found that when done correctly networking is effortless.
