If you're a business owner, you probably spend quite a lot of your time at networking events. In fact, it may be the main way you try to get new clients. But do you ever feel that you could get more from these meetings? Do you actually get the results from your networking to justify the amount of time you put into it? If you don't find you get a lot of interest from the people you meet, it may be that you're going about things the wrong way. You may need a new approach. My own view is that you can't go far wrong if you think of networking more like dating. The two activities have a lot in common ( although, I must admit, I'm relying on distant memory here ). Here are some things you need to think about. 1. What sort of person do you want to meet? If your answer is " anyone " you risk wasting time talking to a lot of people who just aren't going to be " the one ". You also sound a bit desperate, to be honest. Not everyone is going to be your ideal client. Once you know who that is, you can be more choosy about who you talk to. 2. Where are you likely to meet them? There are lots of places to meet people, but where will you find your ideal person - in a club, at evening classes, at...more

Above all, you need to know that the right PR can alter individual perception and lead to changed behaviors. Especially when you create external stakeholder behavior change, the kind that leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives. And all because the core of your public relations lies in doing something positive about the behaviors of those important outside audiences of yours that MOST affect your operation. The bottom line is, the right PR let's you persuade those key outside folks to your way of thinking, and help move them to take actions that allow your department, division or subsidiary to succeed. And now, the bonus blueprint that gets everyone working towards the same external stakeholder behaviors, insuring that your PR effort stays focused: people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the very people whose behaviors affect the organization the most, the public relations mission is accomplished. Such a blueprint can produce results like new community service...more
