3 Networking Mistakes You Need to Avoid

The next time you're meeting bigwigs at an event, don't blow your opportunity by committing one of these common errors.

Networking is one of the most powerful tools you can use to grow your company and reputation. But if you do it the wrong way, your would-be professional contacts won't remember you, and may even be offended.

"If you want to network successfully with high-level professionals, you have to inspire them to want to connect with you," Dorie Clark, an adjunct professor of business administration at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and the author of Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future, writes in the Harvard Business Review.

Clark says that networking is a quest to build relationships in a short amount of time. But bad networking will destroy that opportunity before you're able to starting building a connection. Below, read the three mistakes Clark suggests you work on avoiding before you next hand someone your business card.

1. Misjudging the pecking order.

Networking with professional peers is easy, Clark says. If you follow up promptly after your first encounter, connect with them on LinkedIn, and offer to buy them coffee, you're all set. But catching a titan of industry is harder, she writes. When you're trying to network with someone above you in status, you need to act appropriately. "We make mistakes when we fail to grasp the power dynamics of a situation," she writes in HBR. You need to show the other person why you're worth their time. "It would be nice if Richard Branson or Bill Gates wanted to hang out with me 'just because,' but that's unlikely. If I'm going to connect with someone far better known than I am, I need to give them a very good reason," Clark writes.

2. Asking for something right away.

The saying "Ask and you shall receive" doesn't work when you're trying to network with prominent people. It'll actually hurt your chances of building a relationship. "Asking for their time, in and of itself, is an imposition unless you can offer them some benefit up front," Clark writes. The key is to offer the person something first, instead of an afternoon time-suck. Clark cites the example of Debbie Horovitch, a Canadian social media consultant, who was able to build relationships with powerful businessmen like Guy Kawasaki and Mike Michalowicz by inviting them to participate in her Google+ Hangout interviews on how to become a business author. "Instead of asking them for 'an hour of their time' to get advice on writing a book, she exposed them to a broader audience and created content that's permanently available online," Clark writes.

3. Neglecting to state your value proposition.

You want to be upfront, concise, and straightforward with what you are offering the bigwigs. "Top professionals don't have time to weed through all the requests they get to figure out which are dross and which are gold," Clark writes. "You have to be very explicit, very quickly, about how you can help." Offering them a business date "the next time you're around" won't cut it, she says. Be familiar with the person's work and have a carefully thought-out proposition to help them achieve their goals. Pitch a self-created job description--especially one that addresses the person's pain points.

3 Ways to Work Smarter Not Harder on Social Media

In social media, quality will be more important than quantity in the year ahead. Here are three steps to ensuring you're on the right track.

IMAGE: Getty Images

As the tab for social media advertising is expected to hit almost $30 billion in 2016, it is increasingly important to engage with users that will provide the biggest bang for your buck.

With this in mind, SocialRank founder Alex Taub has a few suggestions. In a recent interview with NPR, Taub speaks about managing and ranking followers on social networks. His New York City-based startup allows companies to measure the value of Twitter and Instagram followers based on more than just a number.

Here are three ways he'd suggest recognizing your most bankable followers:

1. Seek active followers.
Followers that frequently reply, like, or share content are more valuable, since they're more engaged--and if they speak positively about the company or brand, even better.

2. Target your engagement. 
Tweet or post customization also increases follower value. SocialRank pulls data from follower profiles including activities, interests, and location that companies can use for more direct marketing or even comparing to competitors' accounts. Through sorting and filtering features, "we basically let you datamine your own audience," Taub explains. Even if you don't use a tool like SocialRank, however, you can customize your own interactions. Facebook, for instance, will allow you to send targeted messages to people within certain geographies. There's also a matter of timing. If your core audience craves your product at certain times of the day--during lunch, for instance--it makes no sense to issue posts at 7a.m. The key is to be smarter about your postings.

3. Identify the best followers. 
SocialRank's Taub also recommends identifying high profile accounts, not just celebrities and other influencers. The number of followers a follower has is important, but you'll need to look for those who engage frequently with your brand or company account. Within this category, however, keep in mind that there is still no standard method to determine the difference in value between followers from different social networks, co-founder of video curation site Tubefilter Drew Baldwin told NPR.


Regardless, it hardly ever hurts to work smarter, not harder.

Why You Should Post More and Interact Less on Social Media

Despite its importance, conversation on social media tends to happen on a smaller scale and rarely leads to more visibility.

IMAGE: Getty Images

I'm going to introduce you to an idea that might seem radical. We're told all the time about the importance of engagement in social media. We hear endlessly that engagement is vital to keeping existing customers and building community. That's true of course. However, imagine a world where social media is viewed as a distribution channel first and a discussion mode a distant second.

This is increasingly the world we live in.

Social Media platforms encourage us to share and reshare information in the hopes of sparking interest. From Facebook and Twitter to Snapchat and Periscope, the range of applications that allow individuals and businesses to connect instantly is constantly growing and so, too, are the rules of the game. While frequent discussion may be the preferred social media strategy of some businesses, examination of social media trends and user behavior indicate that less talk may be more meaningful.

Less is More

Current social media trends show that utilizing Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat to share content such as articles, photos, and "sneak peeks" establishes a brand story that can flesh out a company. Rather than just being an online wine retailer sharing promotions through social media or having discussions about vintages with customers, you can craft a persona for the company that shares positive news stories about wine, funny wine memes, wine quotes and images, unique winery articles, and more.

I've found customers prefer this distribution-focused model. Most people don't have the time to engage in conversation. They find that not only do they learn about sales and promotions, but that the content shared by their favorite wine retailer is also relevant to their own interests. They'll enjoy sharing content with their followers because it is also a reflection of their interests. They'll also begin to see the brand or business in a new light, one that is more a part of their lives.

Using social media outlets as a content distribution channel can boost follower numbers, retweets and shares, and likes by providing regularly posted content that is relevant to follower's interests. This increase in visibility can help your brand or business grow and can also give insight into your clients.

What You Share is Key

For example, if you sell running shoes, your followers are most likely people who enjoy running or other athletic activities. Relevant posts for your social media accounts would include: running quotes, information about picking the right running shoe, special shoe sales or promotions, new product highlights, fitness news, and running memes that make light of the sport in a fun way. While it's important to interact with people who reach out to the company, especially those who have customer service needs, engagement isn't the backbone of your strategy here.

It is important to not only share information about your brand and your products, but to also have fun with the platform, sharing information that is useful and that gets followers to share your tweets and posts. Monitoring what content catches on with your followers will help you fine-tune your social media plan and help you continue posting content that will enhance your follower experience and increase your visibility through shares and retweets. 

Don't Neglect Engagement

In contrast to content distribution, discussion tends to happen on a smaller scale and rarely leads to more visibility. While it can help resolve problems and make your followers feel valued, it probably won't be shared at the same rate as good content. That said, it is still important to talk with your followers on occasion. When engaging with followers, consider your motivations and post wisely. If something has angered you, don't reply in haste. Take your time and craft your responses to ensure you're representing your brand or business in the best light.

Any discussion you initiate with a particular follower should be about your brand or business and reflect the values you espouse. Perhaps they mentioned your company and you want to thank them, or perhaps they're discussing a problem they've had with your business or brand. Either way, a beneficial discussion will aim to showcase the ideology of the company by how it's handled.

Get the most out of your social media by posting easily shareable information that is relevant to your brand and your customer. Utilize images that are unique to your vision and which will engage your followers. And while discussion should not be your first priority, don't forget to check your messages and respond when necessary. As you fine-tune your social media plan, remember that not all social media platforms are created equally. Some are more attuned to content distribution. Manage your content and learn what and where to share to maximize visibility for your brand and business.

Your Success At Work Depends On Peer Relationships

Most entrepreneurs, and members of any small team, naively assume that the key to their success is hard work, dedication, and long hours in the business. In reality, their effectiveness is usually more related to how well they develop their work relationships with peers and business leaders. First they need to decipher correctly every relationship as a workship, friendship, or foe.

Workships, according to workplace expert Dr. Jan Yager, refers to those workplace relationships that haven’t yet developed into full-blown friendships, but are closer than mere acquaintances. In her classic book on this subject, “Who’s That Sitting at My Desk?” she explains the importance of mastering work relationships, and provides specific guidance on building the right ones.

It behooves all entrepreneurs and team members to recognize the positives and negatives of each type of relationship. More importantly, we all need to develop the right relationships, and actively avoid those types that are not right for the business, or not right for our career at a particular point in time. Here are the key ones I have experienced, as paraphrased from her book:

Acquaintanceship. Every business relationship, peer-to-peer, or inside to outside, starts as an introduction and formal recognition of roles. Too many relationships never advance beyond this stage, resulting in poor communication, no cooperation, low trust, and low shared productivity. Moving forward to a workship is critical to the business.

Workship – Mentor. This is a productive working relationship where one party, more knowledgeable and/or experienced, takes an active role in fostering the advance of the other. When both parties contribute, it’s a powerful and positive relationship that benefits both careers, as well as the business.

Workship – Advocate. Unlike the mentor, who is a coach and teacher, the advocate inspires you to be the best that you can be. The best advocates do this because they care about you as a person, not because of personal aspirations. Your business will benefit from the increased productivity, high morale, and skill growth.

Workship – Trailblazer. The trailblazer is not overly competitive, but always is a few steps ahead and enjoys setting an example that you are inspired by, or motivated to follow. As a result, you are incented to be a trailblazer for others, which leads to stronger relationships throughout the team, and a stronger startup.

Workship – Communicator. The communicator is always researching the latest info, and keeps you in the loop on what’s happening in the business and why. Unlike the office gossip, information is always shared in a positive way, thus helping you to do your best at work and in your career. What goes around almost always comes around.

Friendship. There are three conditions that accompany the transition from a workship to a more intimate friendship; a shared wish to move to the next level, expanding the work-based relationship to non-work experiences; and sharing on issues requiring trust and discretion. Contrary to popular opinion, friendships are not inherently bad for business.

Romantic. When the relationship is appropriate, condoned by the company, and welcomed by both parties, it can be positive from a personal and even a work perspective. On the other hand, it can cause enormous emotional and legal problems, not to mention pain, suffering, and business failure. Proceed to this level with caution.

Foe. A foe relationship between two startup team members is always toxic to the business, so quick action from the top is required to save the business. Some foe relationships can be turned around to a productive workship or friendship, but all require first a shared wish by both parties to change. Workships and friendships can’t be forced.

In summary, entrepreneurs need to be especially perceptive and sensitive to business and personal relationships, since they normally work with small, closely-knit teams, on innovative and highly unstructured environments. The quality of relationships with customers, investors, partners, and suppliers can easily be their sustainable competitive advantage, or their death knell.

In my experience, even the best technology and business model won’t succeed without successful relationships. That’s why investors say they invest in people, not ideas. Starting from the top, make sure your startup has the right people, and the right relationships with each other. If you don’t, you too may soon find someone else sitting at your desk.

4 Ways to Build Your Small Business Brand Awareness

Did you know that branding is just as important for small businesses as it is for large corporations?

Many small business owners I talk to understand that branding is essential to their business, but a surprisingly high number of them don't really know why.

Branding is a way of defining your business to yourself, your team and your external audiences. It could be called the business’ “identity”.

The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging and promotional materials--all of which should integrate your logo and communicate your brand.

Event marketing can be an integral part of how you can build your company’s brand and increase awareness.

So what do you need to do?

1. Get a great logo. Event marketing allows you to showcase your business logo on the event marketing materials such as email blasts, calendar postings and event fliers.  
2. Develop a tagline. Use event marketing to share your company’s memorable, meaningful and concise statement that captures the essence of your brand.
3. Design creative marketing materials (business cards, brochures etc…). Promote your company’s marketing materials at business events. Use the same color scheme, logo placement, look and feel throughout. You don't need to be fancy, just consistent.
4. Be consistent. You must be consistent with your event marketing strategies for positive results. Once is not enough to build your brand awareness.

Event marketing has allowed me to build my network of professional connections, increased my referral base and increased my sales.

Using Events to Promote Any Business

No matter what type of business you run, events marketing is a great way to promote your products and services, interact with current and potential customers, and position yourself as a leader in your field. In-person events offer important face-to-face contact with your targets, while online events help you reach a broad audience. 

In The UPS Store/Inc. survey, respondents reported that the most common free and paid ways businesses promote their services or products are social media (73 percent) and personal interaction (67 percent). Events incorporate both methods and can help you generate leads, build relationships, and create awareness. 

Once you’ve chosen the right event to promote your business, plan how you’ll participate-; and how you can make the most of your time there. Events offer a great opportunity to cultivate word-of-mouth marketing and referrals.

DURING THE EVENT

Think about ways to make your participation memorable, fun, or interesting. Demonstrations and giveaways can be great options. Postcards, brochures, and other custom print materials are tools to keep your business on attendees’ radar after they’ve gone home. 

Actively encourage attendees to sign up for your mail or email lists by creating a special offer or information for those who do so. Use signage to encourage them to follow your business on social media. Create an incentive for them to let you know how they learned about the event and your business.

AFTER THE EVENT

Follow through after the event, with a telephone call, thank-you email message, or special offer via a postcard campaign. Such activities help you build your customer and prospect base, making your participation and investment worthwhile.
