How can we get ourselves better connected to eachother?

Business is as much about who you know as it is about what you know. The more people who know you, the more people who respect what you do, the more people there are to refer you clients and help your business succeed! Think about the last 5 clients you met with – how did they find you? If any of it was through word of mouth, referrals or social media, you have experienced the power of really connecting.

And you would think, with all the social tools and number of people online, that connecting would be easy, right?

Wrong.

It is easy to talk, listen and converse. Connecting takes time, energy and more effort than just a tweet or two. In order to honestly connect with someone you need to take things beyond just the basics. You need to step out of the twittersphere, away from the facebook and actually have a conversation – preferably in person, but at a minimum, over the phone and via emails.

Stepping out from behind the status update box allows us to deepen our relationships and actually get answers to what a person does. Knowing someone better means you can better connect them to the right people – and help them with their business. Of course, as a firm believer in what goes around comes around, this method works very well.

So, the next step is learning more about how we can all connect and help each other – so in the comments, I want you to share who you are, what you do and what you are looking for. Give us a way to help and promote you…and let’s spread the connecting!

Ready, go!

    Hello, Simon, Kirsten, Everyone Else. I’m Andy Lymburner. I’m the Director of IT Operations & Security at Babson College in Wellesley, MA.. Babson has been consistently ranked by all of the top publications as the top business school in the country when it comes to Entrepreneurship – for nearly 20 years. I can tell you that there is seldom a dull moment in my work life as we have entrepreneurial faculty teaching an amazingly active and energetic entrepreneurial student body. I am also the father of twin (almost) 4-year old girls and an almost 8-year old boy – so there’s not much downtime when I get home, either. I am interested in most everything – and happy to add my two cents whenever anyone cares to listen.
