Have you by chance seen a movie called “The Company Men” with Ben Affleck? It’s about a group of highly successful men who get dumped by their big corporation and find themselves out of a job. It’s a very rocky road for all of them. In fact, one of the former employees is so depressed he opts to self-distruct rather than go back on the job market at a mature age. In the end (which I hope I’m not spoiling for you) they find the answer is starting a company of their own. Who knew?
To me, being efficient means working smarter. Here are Five networking quiz that will increase your brand exposure and overall business health immediately.
Provides better software defined networking. You can use either local area networking or the Internet or wireless connections for the HP MFP. Simply use the company’s Web Jetadmin printer management software or its Jetdirect print servers.
What do people say about you, how do they perceive you? Pay attention to how others describe you when they introduce you and how they treat you. Are you described as fun loving, compassionate, professional or creative? Do these descriptions align with your values and what you stand for?
Are all the satellite broadband providers in California and Texas offering the same goods more or less? After you do some research on the subject, you might not be convinced that one provider is all that different from another. If you see a standard bar being met by more than one provider, it might be time to investigate the other issues. Check on how much time it would take for the providers to get your connection going from first contact, or whose rebates add up to better prices in the end.
Take stock of your business contacts, who are your confidants, mentors? Who do you know and what do they do? Do you belong to professional networking groups or Chamber of commerce in your areas? LinkedIn is one of such business networking sites that comes to mind.
Make contacts. Build a network of influential people within the field you want to enter. Find creative ways to approach them and maintain the connection once it is made. For example, why not offer to write an article for a trade magazine or website? You can choose a topic which gives you a reason to contact key people within the industry.
It is down to you, no one else. Accept it, and look at how you can improve and start again. Every time you work at it you will get better and better and so it’s back to the old story – it’s better to be the tortoise and not the hare.
