How to network effectively - 7 tips

Most people hate networking , 7 tips:

1. Always Give

When you first meet someone, give them something without asking for anything in return.

Could be vacation advice you know they’ll appreciate. 

Or a Linkedin connection to someone they’ll find valuable.

Don’t wait for someone to give you something. Always give First.

2. Focus on Them - nothing about yourself

When you’re networking, focus on the other person and what they want.

Ask them questions about:

• their lives

• their work

• their vacations

Don’t talk about yourself.

3 .Offer Help

Maybe you don't know what to give. When you meet someone, 

ask them how you can help them. If you see a problem they’re having, 

ask how you can help solve it, in a humble manner.

4. Follow Up

Most people don’t follow up after their first touch.

Don’t be one of those people. If you genuinely want to be connected to someone, 

send a second message,  even if they never responded to the first.

5. Don’t Keep Score

When you help someone,  don’t keep track of how many times you help them. 

Spend that energy helping someone else. Just be generous because you want to be generous.

6. Be Patient 

Networking takes time. Don’t expect to meet your dream client , employer or connection overnight. 

It takes time to build trust and relationships. Don't rush it.

7. Everyone matters be a connector

The intern or student who's invisible to most of the crowd. She gets a job at your dream company 9 months later and puts your name in for a job.

Good thing you made her feel visible. Be a connector

When someone's capability matches someone else's need — make the connection.

Executives stop ignoring blockchain

Blockchain has already started to revolutionize ways of doing business, but even CIOs aren’t totally on board, let alone the rest of the executive leadership team, in my opinion this is a huge mistake. You must start experimenting with one of your business processes.

Startups and leading digital enterprises are nevertheless deploying blockchain to solve problems and create value that conventional, centralized technologies and processes can’t. On example, the cryptocurrency market is now worth around $2 trillion, and nation states and public and private companies own nearly $100 billion of Bitcoin alone.

A tangible example is a local Montreal company called Shakepay,  a technology company that provides financial applications for building wealth. Canadians from all walks of life — college students to retirees — use Shakepay to connect with the digital economy built on the Internet.They started in 2015, and have had exponential growth, their successful business model has constantly been to create value for its customers . Scalability is how theyre business model expanded without increasing costs to the same extent. Software business models are naturally easier to scale than those based on physical values. The direct marketing approach is excellent , easiest way to buy digital assets using interac transfer and have a good customer service,  they give you a 30$ free bitcoin on first purchase of 100$ or more. 

Here is the link if your interested and you will get $30 of free bitcoin on your first purchase:  https://shakepay.me/r/ZZPBYOK

Im suspecting the finance industry is racing to catch up to these startups. Pension funds, insurance, banking want to compete in this new world and profit from it. Their approach will be two-pronged: experimenting with cryptocurrency offerings and lobbying regulators to create rules to officialize the space.

I am so confident that assets will move to the blockchain because of the efficiencies and enhancements are just too substantial to be ignored even by large corporations like pension funds, banking and insurance as a way to retire in the long run their legacy systems.

Whether we like it or not, the world is rapidly moving into a technological era, and at an increasing pace. This is essentially changing how businesses are being operated and ultimately, how value is added for customers. In the past, digital transformation was a long process that often took years to achieve for companies due to the many complexities involved. However, nowadays, the shift can be made in a matter of months. This is the acceleration aspect of digital transformation.
