Folks,

I am not convinced spending money on ads is going to work marketing magic for anyone. No one cares that you placed an ad - be it in the newspaper, on the radio or TV...unless you give them a reason. And, that means you convinced them to care. Too often the person placing the ad (and spending the money) is convinced. But, the one that needs convincing is not the one placing the ad. It's the one you want responding to it.

One of the things business networking with other people can help you accomplish is hone your message so you get a better response. you might be surprised to what extent people will go to help you hone your message or better accomplish your goal if you only ask. On another network I have actually asked Ryzers to help me get the attention of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to have his office send me an audio website link. Will Ryzers come forward to help me? One thing is for sure. I will never know unless I ask. Well, since I want the help, I humbly asked for it. But, that is not all. I not only asked for help, I offered to help others with a similar need. Successful business networking is meant to be a win/win situation. It is important that you not only convey that message, but that you take the time to demonstrate it as well.
