Good day. I hope that everyone had a nice weekend.

I recently added profile questions to our meetup group, so make sure to answer the profile questions so that we can get to
know each other better.

When it comes to networking to generate new customers for your business, meet strategic partners, or to get a new job, you need to cover four areas:


  • People have to get to know you

  • People have to get to like you

  • People have to get to trust you

  • You must be competent (Hint: the best way to do this online is to include testimonials, i.e. recommendations on LinkedIn.com, and shouts on Meetup.com)


Please make sure to answer all of the profile questions as that is a wonderful way to start getting people to know you.

Quite frankly, if you don't answer the profile questions, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Do you really think that someone will do business with or hire a complete stranger - especially someone they met on the Internet? Probably not.

If you're serious about marketing yourself and your business, or shopping your resume, complete the profile questions for this group and ANY other meetup group that you belong to.

Do not be a top-secret sales rep, entrepreneur, or potential employee - come out of the closet with it. You can't make money otherwise.


We're looking to make this a productive, meaningful meetup group. Heck, we have the double-barrel effect of using Meetup.com and LinkedIn.com. We have wonderful platforms where we can get to know each other better, so let's get this thing going. I completed my profile already.

We're not looking to be the largest meetup group, but one of the most productive.

So...

If you are serious about getting more customers, meeting strategic partners, or getting a new gig, complete your profile as soon as you can.

Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to meeting you all.

Have a great week.

Kind regards,
