The Language of Networking Part II
In the last post, I shared an example of language hindering networking from the world of politics.
The idea is to be careful about what message you want to convey to the voters. That is ultimately who campaigns and candidates network with in order to gain votes. It's no different than a salesperson networking with a prospect to get them to buy something. People buy the political product (candidates) through their votes.
Images are just as important in networking, especially in the political world, as are the words used. In fact, one could argue that images are far more important since images create emotion.
Images used in political ads, whether on TV or in direct mail pieces are used to convey a message. Using the wrong image can create a huge barrier for a campaign and candidate. It can actually do harm to a relationship between candidate and voter. In fact, it can cost a candidate an election.

The Language of Networking
Recently US Senator George Allen, R-VA, made a comment to one of his opponent's aides. The comment was taken as rather negative to say the least and some claim racially insensitive. Every since he has been backpedeling and saying that his statement was misunderstood.
You can read the story here.
So what does this have to do with political networking. Everything! Language is how we communicate. This is especially true in campaigns. One of the functions of a campaign is to point out how bad your opponent is and the Webb campaign is doing a fine job of that on this incident - which means that for now, the Webb campaign is controlling the message that people are hearing.
The result hasn't been played out in full yet, but I'd be willing to bet that this episode will cost Allen some support in his re-election effort for the mere appearence of racial insensitivity.
All of this goes to prove that words matter. Networking is about relationships. Politics is really nothing more than informal networking with voters. We build relationships with people we know, like and trust. One of the ways we do that is through the communication of words.
