It’s all about real world connections. Who do you know? Whether you are looking for a job, hoping to get your foot in the door with a customer, trying to secure a first meeting with a venture capital firm or seeking new clients, your personal “real world” contacts are critical. As stated in one of our earlier blogs, the point about networking is that every new business or social relationship starts with two or more strangers meeting. We built MeetingWave to help you form new business and social relationships through meetings with new people – anytime, anyplace. Here are some examples of how you can use MeetingWave to network or simply meet new people and build your network of contacts to reach your goals – anytime, anyplace.
• Are you looking for a job or considering a job offer? Try posting recurring Invites to meet with former or current employees of companies you're interested in. Get the benefit of talking to those "in the know." Also, try posting invites to meet with fellow alumni, people with common interests or fellow job hunters. Also, set up one or more Meeting Alerts to be notified of Invites posted by others in your area and accept any of interest. Making new contacts can help you secure your next job. (See, Find the Right Job or Opportunity Using MeetingWave)
• Are you an attorney striving to become a rainmaker? Try posting a recurring Invite for lunch near your office with fellow alumni, other attorneys, or people interested in learning about your practice. You can specify the types of people you want to meet (e.g., people in corporate or business development). Emphasize your expertise and knowledge in your Profile and in the Invite description. Your pool of potential clients is out there waiting for you. (See, MeetingWave – A New Tool for RainMakers)
• Are you a realtor trying to find your next client or sell a home? Try posting a recurring Invite at a local coffee shop to meet with potential buyers or sellers. Describe the areas and neighborhoods you represent in your Profile and in the Invite description and ask other members to create a Profile that includes background information before they accept your Invite. Offer to pay for the coffee. You can approve or decline any acceptance so you decide who you meet and whether the meeting occurs. Why not try it today?
• Are you in sales and looking to bring in more business? Try posting Invites at your next conference or tradeshow to meet potential customers and Invites when you are on the road or near home or work. Why not? It’s free and easy to use. You can be as detailed as you want in your Invite description. Let everyone know, for example, that you want to meet with employees of a company in your sales pipeline. Offer to pick up lunch to get more leads and have the opportunity to pitch your product or service during the meeting. You’ll still decide who to meet and when.
• Are you interested in meeting people and making new friends? Try posting a recurring Invite to meet new people. Post an Invite to meet with fellow sports fans in your city, newcomers to your town, people who share common interests, etc. Increasing the number of real world social contacts can often help you on the business front as well. Remember, MeetingWave provides you with a high degree of control – even when you're looking to meet new people! You set the time, date and location of your proposed meeting. You can describe the types of people you want to meet. You can decline, for any reason, to meet with anyone who has accepted your Invite.
