The Professional Networker, Inc. Newsletter

Dear Member, 

"I didn't belong as a kid, and that always bothered me. If only I'd known that one day my differentness would be an asset, then my early life would have been much easier." Bette Midler

What a great lesson to learn at any age. As a relationship networker, it is so important for us to find the "differentness" of each person in our database of referrals. Viva La Difference as they say. I challenge everyone to find what makes each person they meet this week unique. Celebrate your own "differentness". Set yourself apart from everyone else and be proud.

Affordable Zip-Code Specific Online Advertising

We have made many changes to The Professional Networker website in the past year. This next one is the result of 100's of requests. It will knock your socks off. You have asked for a way to know other people on the website. You have asked for advertising to specific markets. You ask, and we provide. The Professional Networker is partnering with Michael Richmond and Megaque and Shoppers4m websites. Imagine the ability to cross-market with other member businesses and be zip-code specific. These listing are "spidered" every 14 days by the major search engines. Or the power of having mini-websites that list all subscribers on as many as 50 different web- directories that we control. Imagine all this for under $500/year. THAT my friends, is the power of networking and relationship building.
