7. Fundamental principle of networking
The REAL power is in the 2nd degree
The real power of the network is in the second degree.
The real power is in the network of your network.
So don't focus on your own network, but ask them to introduce
you to their network!

8. Single most important "feature" of LinkedIn
LinkedIn shows the connections between people.
LinkedIn shows you which of your own contacts can introduce you to
their connections who know them.
LinkedIn allows you to easily tap into the power of the 2nd (or 3rd) degree.
LinkedIn eliminates "cold" calling.

9. TIP 1: 5 Steps Success Strategy
1. Define a specific goal
2. Think of the people in the best position to help you reach your goal
3. Use "Advanced Search"
4. Look at the list for common contacts
5. Ask the person you have the best relationship with for a Magic Mail

10. TIP2: Building a "basic" network in 3 steps
BECAUSE you need a "basic" or first degree network first before you can tap
into the power of the second degree / the power of LinkedIn.
1.
Upload the contacts from your email program to LinkedIn.
2.
Connect with (old) colleagues and (old) classmates using LinkedIn tools.
3.
Join the Groups which are in line with your goals, for example:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Current / potential customers
Professional organisations
Trade organisations
Chambers of Commerce
Alumni associations of your college or (previous) employer(s).

11. TIP3: Find the people that can help you
1. Search on their name (if you know their names)
2. Use Advanced Search with the parameters you have used to make
your goal clear (for example: location, industry, function, key words)
3. Browse in the network of your connections
4. Look in the member lists of the Groups you joined
5. Use "Companies"

12. TIP 4-8: Some do's and don'ts
4. Be proactive. Just making a Profile is (most of the times) not enough.
5. Build relationships. Even if they are not the right person, they might be
able to introduce you to the people who you want to sell to.
6. Be active in Groups and help others: this will raise your visibility and
credibility.
7. DON'T use LinkedIn as a sales tool, but as a research tool.
8. Start building your network NOW and spend each week some time
expanding and maintaining your network.
