And in particular ….. I would recommend you use Twitter. I’m amazed at the number of trainers who come on my workshop who are NOT actively using it because they either don’t understand how it works or believe that it is a waste of time and they will never get business from it.

I have found Twitter to be a great way of connecting with people and building a network fast. I have been amazed at the number of people I have managed to connect with in a short space of time and also how many of these people are now actively helping me with my business and vicec versa.

Twitter can also help drive traffic to your blog or website. If people start to follow you and like what you are saying they will naturally become interested in your business. And Twitter is no different to other forms of networking in that people will recommend and refer people they like to others.

And yes – as one of my clients will testify (she was offered the opportunity to pitch for the opportunity to develop and run a Teambulding programme for a pharmaceutical company recently which came via a Twitter contact) you can get business from it!
