Editor's Notes
- One to one meetings are all part of the business to business networking process and here’s how to get the most out of this essential relationship building technique.In a roomful of people your goal is most likely to make contact with a number of people and to make an assessment as to whether it is worth developing a relationship further. If this is the case then you will most likely want to schedule time in private at a later date, to find out more about each other in more detail
- But think carefully before you agree to meetings with everyone you meet…you could end up spending an awful lot of time unproductively.

- Value Proposition: The collection of products and services a business offers to meet the needs of its customers. According to Osterwalder, (2004), a company's value proposition is what distinguishes itself from its competitors. The value proposition provides value through various elements such as newness, performance, customization, "getting the job done", design, brand/status, price, cost reduction, risk reduction, accessibility, and convenience/usability. .
- Consistency - be consistent with everything you do. Your users/subscribers/visitors/prospectives should have a similar experience with you every single time (think Starbucks)Congruency - make it all work together. If your website is pink, frilly and girly but in person you’re uber-conservative, people are going to say, “WTF? This doesn’t make sense – I don’t trust this.”Clarity - when people meet you (in-person, online etc.) they should immediately get a sense of what you’re all about and what business you’re in. If not, you’ll lose them fast.Communicate – this goes back to the “know” factor. You have to communicate, communicate, communicate. Don’t worry about the word “marketing” if this makes you uneasy (although it shouldn’t). Just focus on letting people know what you do. Strive to find at least 1-3 people a day that you can tell about your business.Compelling – make your message really interesting, informative and inspiring and you’re goldConstant – you can’t build the know, like and trust factor if you are around one minute and gone the next. Strive for regular, ongoing communication vs. short bursts. If your message is valuable, it’s not spamming.
- Most effective personality-based brands create polarization 1. distinctive or unique character or personality a work of great individuality2. the qualities that distinguish one person or thing from another; identity3. the state or quality of being a separate entity; discreteness
