This BBC Friday – “The Halloween Edition” – our own Regular, Karen Klein, will walk us through “Getting More Out Of Networking With LinkedIn®.”

The incomparable Karen Klein will be demonstrating ways to make your LinkedIn® profile spiffy and ready for viewing — by those who want to hire you! It’s always a good idea to visit one’s profile and tweak it, polish it, keep it up-to-date and relevant, whether on LinkedIn® or any other web-presence or social network.

There will also be time for sharing your own LinkedIn® stories and experiences and putting a question on the table … where, maybe, someone will know what to do with it.

And  — BOOO! — Come in costume! You know, like, a different costume from your regular costume … maybe less scary, more wacky … or visa-versa.  Like, who knows … what lurks in the heart … of a BBC homosapient … from Earth?

So invite your friends and associates to join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!

BBC @ OfficeXpats – 403 Madison Avenue N, Bainbridge Island, Upstairs At the Pavilion

7:30-8:00 – coffee/tea, visiting, informal networking
8:00-8:45 – Getting More Out Of LinkedIn®
8:30-9:00 – more networking, sharing, visiting

How do spheres of influence impact your branding or affect marketing and selling your services and products?

What constitutes one’s “sphere of influence” (SOI)? For example, as mutually beneficial business and social networking relationships, see how “Networking Ahead” construes SOI (networkingahead.com). Another interesting SOI discussion: strategypeak.com.

What is a “sphere of influence business model”? RISMedia (rismedia.com) identifies 3 primary activities in effective SOI in business: 1) nurturing existing relationships; 2) staying in touch with other non-primary contacts; 3) meeting new people.

We will discuss various levels of influence. 1) core areas; 2) inner circle; 3) outer circle.

Bring examples or stories. Where have you seen SOI at play in your own business or larger network community?

So, so, so, invite your friends and associates to join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
