Network In Style- 4 Chic Tips

Check out these chic tips I found on networking on the Chic Entrepreneur website. Pretty useful tips!

1. Find Hidden Contacts: There are a plethora of good contacts right at your fingertips. Where are they? In your address book, untapped. That's what Mary Kurek, author of the nationally endorsed book, Who's Hiding in Your Address Book? says. Mary's book simplifies the subject into specific tasks that can be easily carried out. Read more about this informative book on my blog.

2. Know Where You're Going: Before you go to the next networking event, use Google Maps Street View to check out the location and the parking situation, so you're never late, flustered or caught in an illegal parking zone.

3. Connect with Others: Don't just network, connect. There's no better way to learn about this than to read my friend Bonnie Ross-Parker's inspirational book Walk in My Boots: The Joy of Connecting. Bonnie believes that the joy of connecting brings value to each party involved. Read more about her book on my blog. After connecting, remember to handwrite a note to those that you've met. It's a personal touch that will have a big impact on your network.

4. Drop in and Say Hello... Virtually: We're doing this by hosting our very own virtual Chic Book Tour, where different business blogs will post radio interviews and reviews of the Chic Entrepreneur.
