The Power of the Post
Thanks to the original "Evangelist", Guy Kawasaki, I have been swirling through the blogosphere. He featured tips from the newly revised How to Work a Room® as The ART of Schmoozing, Part 2. For over a week, I have received google alerts on schmooze or my name, indicating another blog or site that picked up Guy's post.
There was a famous commercial for Breck shampoo that I referenced in The Secrets of Savvy Networking because of its "viral", word of mouth promise which captured the essence of networking. "And I told two people, who told two people, etc" Pretty soon, the TV screen was full of women with gorgeous hair... from Breck, of course.
Who could imagined the impact of the internet on the power of personal endorsement??? It's truly mind-boggling.
One of the issues his post covered is one that people encounter when they must converse and connect with people: the age old problem of what to talk about. Here's a hint. Go to truemors.com and you have many topics and choices to chose from and will be more adept at how to start those hard to start conversations. It's fun, interesting and will get your schmooze started.
