network: creating your
brand online

2. Do you remember
those chamber of
commerce mixers........

3. Where you met seven insurance sales reps for every
legitimate lead?

Going to chamber of commerce events
Giving your business card to anyone who listened
to you
Spending a lot of time meeting people who had
little in common with you

5. The new way of creating a network
Twitter
LinkedIn
Facebook
Blogs
Online forums like Door64.com

connecting to others
Allows you to meet people all over the country

The personal side of you
Don't get too personal
Great sharing function with Twitter
More and more B to C relationships developing

Not an electronic resume
chance to show people everything from your elevator pitch
to what makes you unique
