out there – remember, Google loves 4N, so you need to be in it to win it.

You need as much information as you can get in your profile – it only takes 15 minutes at the most to set up – its your 4N shop window.

Remember – its 50% social

– so make sure you add

a bit of information

about yourself as well as

your business

Don’t be one of these – who wants to do business with that?!

Don’t forget to make sure you turn on PM notifications so you know when someone has messaged you through the 4N website.

And don’t hide your email address!

Get involvedGo to meetings…

Go to lots of meetings

Plan your 40 seconds intro• Know what you want to say & how you want to say it• Practice it!• Remember – its 40 seconds, not 40 minutes…

Give back in your 1:1s• Remember it’s a two way conversation – not a sales broadcast

Follow up with those you meet, & those you don’t• Use the attendance list to follow up with those you didn’t get a chance to 1:1 with

Respond to the group hug post

Use the home page to find out where meetings are, and to book your place.

If you are travelling for business, think about going to a meeting outside your area.

Use a 4N meeting as a means of setting up a client meeting – it’s cheaper than hiring a meeting room!

Use your account pages to get attendance lists after your meetings.

Use them to follow up with folks you didn’t get a chance to have a 1:1 with.

Invite them to the next meeting and arrange a 1:1 with them.

Check your personal messages – it’s the 4N method of choice.

Use the 4N toolsIt takes time for people to Like you, Know

you & Trust you.You have to work at it & it is different for

everyoneNot all the benefits are about making moneyPeople who make use of the networking tools

get better results from their networking

Meet, Like, Know, TrustThe 4N way gives you a path to help develop

yourself and your business.Ask yourself this - would you do business

with ...... people you don't like?

... people you don't know?

... people you don't trust?Of course not, so don't expect others to

ignore that same process and just hand over a sackful of business.
