If you have a problem and have no idea how to solve it, there's a good chance Jeff Widman can.
Jeff Widman is entrepreneur in marketing and
advertising. He's also a blogger, a networker, a facebook fan page
expert and adventurer. He lives in Washington and currently runs
BrandGlue.com and his clients are Microsoft, Intel, Reddit, Kiva,
David Allen (#GTD), etc. He helps them to market more effectively
on Facebook.
Previously, he worked at TechCrunch and was a freelance blogger
at VentureBeat.Thanks to his skills in computer technology
and communication he can work anywhere in the world and people from
the world can work for him. The best example was when he hired a
team of people in India and Bulgaria and completely outsourced his
job when he was working at TechCrunch.
In his 18 minutes Widmann will talk about networking. Great
networkers don't start with a huge network instead they are more
selective towards talented people who work hard. They accurately
assess the abilities of their network. Someone has a problem, the
other one can solve it, but usually they don't know about each
other. That's when networker steps in and connects them.
"If you want to learn about building genuine relationships
and trust don't expect to find them at networking events or
conferences. Go to nursing homes!"
