networking: Giving Back with 1 Hour of Your Time - 12/29/11 09:22 AM
Giving Back with 1 Hour of Your TimeOn Monday I spent one-hour helping out a NYC real estate professional who needed marketing help. People move around in their careers for many reasons and for most change is hard so I figured let me help Aldo out and see if there was a way for us to work together. After all I am a marketer with years of experience and hands on knowledge that I can share. In addition, my work experience has giving me the opportunity to work on many real estate marketing projects. It was time to give back and

networking: We Said Yes! - 03/07/11 12:05 PM
One of my 2011 New Year’s resolutions was all about saying yes. Little did I know it was going to pay off so soon in the New Year. My wife and I were recently asked to be the dinner honorees at our congregation's annual dinner. So after much debate we said yes. The committee made a compelling case and then we realized it was the 11th annual dinner and we have been members for 11 years after moving into the community so it seemed fitting. Being a marketing guy I was going to have some fun with this whole affair. To

networking: Growing Your Real Estate Business with Social Media Marketing – Some insights - 02/28/11 09:16 AM
Growing Your Real Estate Business with Social Media Marketing – Some insights Last week I helped a friend out who is now running training programs for the Real Estate Education Center in New York. I presented to a group of about 40 Manhattan real estate agents on how they can grow their real estate business with social media marketing. We covered the basics. However, before I started I took a quick poll of the room to see how involved (or not) the agents were with some of the major social media sites (forget marketing for the moment). Here are the

networking: Get Out and Network - 08/24/10 08:57 AM
Social networking is great. We all know that but every now and then you should go to a in-person networking meeting. You never know who you are going to meet. I have been attending the NJ Open Coffee networking meeting that takes place every Friday at 10:30am. We meet at It’s a Grind Coffee shop located in Englewood, NJ. I go for a few reasons. Did you miss my second sentence…to meet people in person and talk business The person who started the meeting is a friend and I enjoy the conversation on social media and technology Now that I have

networking: I'd Like To Thank The Academy And - 03/18/09 10:11 AM
OK I am not attending the Academy Awards or the Emmys nor have I been nominated for any awards (why is that by the way...) but I am attending the John Caples International Awards this Thursday evening. This is a big event in the direct marketing community and this year I was invited to attend (OK you can buy a ticket too but invitations are more fun.) My friends at Alloy Marketing (my hosts) are the sponsors of the first annual Student Campaign of the Year. This evening should be full of excitement since none of the finalist campaigns, companies

networking: Facebook Fan Pages Work - 02/09/09 05:55 PM
Back in January Kerry Lucasse wrote a post titled FACEBOOK 2009 - Five easy ways to maximize your visibility & interact with others. I had been a member of Facebook for a while and was a fan of a few pages but had not set up a business page for Trump University. I didn't see the ROI at the time. After reading Kerry's post I realized it was time to set Trump U up with a fan page. Read Kerry's posts and you will see step by step how easy this is to do. So one weekend I took about 30

Before I get to the thank you note just a quick introduction and background for my readers. If you don’t know Margaret Rome take a minute to get to know her through her websites, her book Real Estate the Rome Way and her blog I first met Margaret though a connection on Active Rain (thank you Carolyn Tann-Starr) when I was looking for help to promote our new Commercial Real Estate book. Margaret is a true giver never asking for anything in return. Having read her book I now know why she is so successful. I encourage you to reach out

networking: 9 Reasons Why I Spend Time In Active Rain - 11/17/08 12:50 PM
I talk a lot about my AR experiences at work. My boss is bound to ask me at some point what I am actually doing on the site …so I thought it would be good to have a list of reasons why Active Rain is worth the time I put into the community. So here my 9 reasons (10 seemed so cliché…) for hanging out in Active Rain as often as possible. I wish it was more but work is work and someone has to do it. I created my Active Rain account because a friend said “you won’t

networking: You Know Your Doing Your Job When... - 08/26/08 04:48 PM
A week ago, I wrote about a success we had connecting with a potential client on LinkedIn. We followed up to make sure this person had a great experience. Yesterday, she emailed me to thank me for my help and to share the news that she is now formally a client. Here is part of her note:"...I am excited to have this opportunity and I wanted to take the time (a little late, but still sincere) to say thanks for making it happen."How often do your clients send you a note like this? The old axiom 'that people do business with

A good friend of mine Andrea Nierenberg is a professional networker.
