An Experiment in Business Networking

Over the last few months I’ve been networking like crazy in an attempt to meet new people and to find new partners for No. 2 Pen. Because our clients are from all over, most of our business is done via phone and email. It’s been refreshing to meet face-to-face with so many professionals.

I’ve decided to take what I’m learning through all this networking and make a Squidoo lens. While nothing revolutionary, it’s a nice way to document the experience. I hope you’ll check it out: An Experiment in Business – How to Build a Network.

While you’re on the lens, answer the polls and leave your feedback. As with all social media, a Squidoo lens is only as good as the dialogue. What do you think?

I’d also like to take a minute and acknowledge a few of the fantastic professionals I’ve met through all this networking. Their talent and ambition is admirable. My hope is that you’ll find their services useful for your own business.

• Sean McVey at Rising Lynx (web design, analytics, and more)
• Jaclyn Beckerman at JNB Coaching (life coaching)
• Jeanine Henderson (illustration, design, and lettering)
• Sarah Bush at Make Great Stuff (taking creativity to the next level)
