Welcome. Today we begin the first in a series of interviews focused on how to help you — yes, you! — use networking in business and feel absolutely awesome about it.
The guests in this series are real people who actually own small businesses and who are using networking each and every day.
My goal is for you to meet people just like my first guest, Jon. He’s a real guy from Chicago, a successful entrepreneur with two small businesses he operates. He’s also very warm and open in his approach to networking, coming at it from a give-to-others perspective. I hope you’ll enjoy listening in on the talk we had earlier this week.
Networking In Business Interview with Jon White
(The recording is in mp-3 format, so feel free to click and listen, or right click and save to download it to your mp-3 player.)
The thing that surprised me most when I met Jon was that he’s really only been taking a “serious” approach to networking for about the past 8 months, and it’s made all the difference in his business. Listen in, as he tells you how he built his networking strategy to the point where now he has a thriving business based on referrals from his contacts, with big things in the works in the near future.
A couple of notes:
- The group Jon mentions in the Chicago area is The SOC Networking Success Meetup
- Jon’s direct email if you want to reach him is jonwhitesoc@gmail.com
- I’m working on a written transcript, and will post it as soon as it is complete in the next day or two.
If you have questions or comments, either for me or for Jon, please leave them here at the blog so we can all figure out how to help you out.
Take care!
