NEW: At the bottom of every TNNW article, we feature a COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE button. Click on it! We want your opinion on every article and author. Push our buttons. Spark us. Inspire us. Interact with us. We love hearing from you!
NEWER: At the bottom of every article you will now also find a multi-purpose comprehensive social media button which will permit you to forward, email, rate and share articles with all of your colleagues on all of your social media. Forward. Share. Never miss an opportunity to get you name in front of your colleagues, clients and prospective clients -- and you can do this without selling and without spamming!
Sometimes the keys to successful commerce are 1) keeping in touch through regular, enjoyable contact (so that you'll always be on the recipient's mind), and 2) simply being there when it counts. When your client needs what you have to offer, he will give you FIRST PRIORITY. This new button gives you the power to mass communicate and announce your availability and brand. Samples of both buttons follow, but first...

3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Publish Your Book
"Beth,
As always you are a fount of wisdom and this is what I needed to hear. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
And I do agree with you, #2 is critical, one cannot overcome #1 or #3, and many of the other reasons prior commentators have offered without putting in the work.
Obviously, #2 is what I'm working on.
Great post!"

Sorting Through "Extreme News" From Left, Right and Center
"In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act. -- George Orwell
People say they love truth, but in reality they want to believe that which they love is true. -- Robert J. Ringer
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts. -- Abraham Lincoln
It is one thing to have an open mind. . . . but don’t let your brains fall out at the smallest puff of wind.
Journalism is not rocket science. . . Tell the story factually. The ability to do that without slanting to your preconceived views?. . . now that is becoming the extinct from yesterdays model of journalism.
Most news papers (Print Media) smell so poorly that you dare not taint the fish that you would wrap it in. The meteoric plunge of subscription and add revenues along with the bankruptcies are a direct proof of this. Media over the air waves is experiencing the same purging effect as well.
Ask any banana republic what is the first to go under poor conditions?
Transparency then Information.
Today’s model (whatever form it takes, Print and electronic medias melting together) that will emerge, (through painfully evolutionary means) will simply be nonpartisan and non-corrupted media streams of immediate reports. The focus will reside in Transparency, Information and Knowledge.
Those that do not change?
Are already dinosaurs. . . they just haven’t reported it yet.
And in the end?
Isn’t that what it is all about?
A little word called truth.
Blessings,"

RICK ITZKOWICH: Being There When It Counts
How Saving Three Lives Led to a Sale
"Rick, from one fellow BNI member to another, it is all about mindset and embracing the giver's gain approach. High value, high content and a personal touch makes all the difference in a marketing strategy. As you mentioned in your article once a connection appears to be made, take the next step and reach out to actually introduce yourself to that person deepening the relationship."
L. F.
"Thanks Rick for your article and candid and ON TARGET perspective. I use the words 'on target' specifically as that is one of the assets I appreciate about you. You are personal, professional and offer myself and others expertise in systems that help us all be 'on target'"
J. N.
"Social Networking and Business Networking can help individuals to improve their visibility in professionals network.
Ff you are visible then you will have an opportunity to share your knowledge with more people and these people can convert into customers."
Y. A.
"Rick,
In your article you mention an important element (at least for me) of social networking which goes beyond the Internet and steps into good, old fashioned, pre-Internet business building style of making a connection: you picked up the phone, all be it probably not a rotary dial phone on the desk in your office but a cell phone while on the go.
I find that social networks are a great starting point and one method to 'stay in touch' - a key element for me is 'making the call' and having a conversation. In fact, I think that's how we actually 'met'."
D. O.
"I have been aware of the power of Social networking since Thomas Power visited Denmark last year. I have been a Management Consultant and Business coach in Denmark since 1998 and all my customers have come from personal references/network activities. About a year ago I began to write on different blogs and groups and now I get customers who have liked my comments. So I really believe in Thomas Powers 3 steps:
1. Know me
2. Like me
3. Follow me"

ADAM J. KOVITZ: A Note From the Chairman
Where's the Trust?
"Whether it is a large corporation or a person you meet at a networking event, you need to do your due diligence. I wish I had a nickel for every MLMer I ran into a networking events. And most of them are gone before the next networking event.
I agree with you, I'd rather do business with someone that I know, like and have a connection with. But that doesn't excuse me from the need to do my own due diligence."
Fred Bauer
"The article is quite concerning. We are slowly losing our freedoms in areas that need not be affected."

ADAM J. KOVITZ: The Mind of Adam J. Kovitz
Have You Inadvertantly Joined The Loser Party?
"Adam:
This is by far one of the most insightful and sharply-pointed articles I have ever read. It is the reason why most networking and relationship-building efforts continually fail. The "one-sided" Mutual Admiration Society marketplace falsely appears to be our comfort zone (filled with friends and compliments), but is, in actuality, the "black hole" that saps our energies.
Faithfully,"
