Be An Intrepid Marketer – Recommendation No. 32

For me, it’s all about being of service. Of service to your clients, your prospects, your community, and yes, even your competition.

Helping people, serving people, giving back – is ALL good marketing.

One of the best ways to serve people is to CONNECT them. Connect people who can help each other. Connect someone to a vendor who can perform a valuable service. Connect people to expand their horizons, to expand their reach, to expand their influence.

Connecting people not only helps them, but it is also good for you. The people you are connecting will remember you were responsible. And that alone is worth it. But, it is likely they will return the favor someday…

If you become known as someone who connects people, you will go far. One of the things I do on a regular basis is host a local TweetUp, which is a live gathering of people who interact on Twitter. It’s a great way to meet people, to put faces to the names of those you have been twittering with, and engage in some valuable business and personal networking.

I am co-hosting my next TweetUp with Taryn Pisaneschi. This is our little way to help make the world a little smaller, and to help build a little community for the people we serve and care about. It is VERY rewarding to see people make a connection that benefits both of them – and to feel a little responsible for making that connection happen!

What are YOU doing to be a better connector?

Be Intrepid.
