There are certainly a lot of things pulling at your time each day, but if you are going to be involved with and use some of the Social Media and Connection Tools available, take a couple of extra minutes to fully fill out your profile. You never know what opportunities are around the corner
Detroit’s Network King Terry Bean, co-founder of Motor City Connect weighs in on a mistake so many folks make, and think they will get to it later,
So many of us get to a new site like Linkedin, Facebook, Motor City Connect (and the list goes on for days) and we decide we will fill out the profile “later”.
Show me in YOUR calendar (outlook, ical, blackberry, Franklin Planner or other) where “later” is. Let’s face it, we live in a hyper busy world. Here’s the thing, taking those 20-30 minutes to fill out our profile NOW increases our odds of being busy later. People are coming to these site to learn about YOU. Give them something about yourself. It’s amazing how many opportunities social networking drives to those who are asking for it!
