Keys to network success and
the art of listening

Too much information
Too little time
Too many connections
Too many inboxes

But…
• It’s easier than you think with the right tools and strategies
• Your network holds the keys to success
• Information creates insights and advantages
• Sharing people, info…create opportunities
• The “new influencer” is technology advantaged

Dealing with content
• Listen >> (learn)• Share >> (make connections)• Contribute >> (have an opinion)• Create (break new ground)
• Twitter/content balance (for every 10 posts)– 5 about your space/industry/peers – make people
smarter– 3 about your product/success – you play a role– 2 personal – you are human

« We know now that the source of wealth is something specifically human : knowledge. Applied to tasks that we already know how to do, it becomes 'productivity'. Applied to tasks that are new and different we call it 'innovation'. Only knowledge allows us to achieve these two goals. » Peter Drucker
