Tremendous value of networking
Networking has become a bit of a clich�, hasn't it? Clich�s are definately there for a reason, but does anyone dispute the fact that it's better to be around people than to be a hermit. Either it is face-to-face meetings or social web networking the task is the same. Networking for business will probably give some opportunities that lead to sales, make connections, create long-lasting relationships which lead to experience, wider network of contacts, disposable income if looking for capital to invest into your crazy ideas.
But how to develop relationships and create a valuable network? One way is to start inviting people for lunch - people do need to eat and what you do is you combine useful with beneficial. Another way is to attend meetings where many of the people you're potentially interested in, are present either as speakers or participants.
We have two great networking events coming up still this month where you can meet "intangibles" to invest your time into. In a long term return you'll understand - this is the most valuable asset of your company. Read more... Let's meet up! Merli Lindberg |

- Danes remain sceptical about the euro. Opposition to adopting the euro is stronger now than it ever has been in 15 years. Some 40 percent as for accepting the euro, while 50 percent are against.
- For nearly a decade, Malm� was something of a shopping Mecca for Danes, but that's all over now. At the beginning of 2009, a Swedish krone cost just 65 Danish �re. Now it costs more than 84 �re - its highest rate since 2001.
- A quarter of all Danish employees working less than full-time. While the government discusses initiatives to create jobs and get enough people working to finance the welfare state in the decades to come, workers are quietly abandoning their posts, according to A4, the newsletter of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions.
