Business advice: How to meet people online, Penny Power explains

Top business advice from Penny Power, Founder of business social network Ecademy, as she explains the best ways to meet more people online, and how to build lasting relationships with them.

When you begin networking online, chances are that you will initially be connecting with people that you know. But as you grow your network, you are bound to start connecting with many new people that you have not met in person. Creating relationships with them can sometimes prove to be difficult. Here, Penny Power reveals how to get to know your new contacts.

Reading profiles is of high importance in personalising communications with new contacts. It’s a great way to find things that you have in common. Relationships are best started when you can find something in their profile that's of interest to you as well, Penny says, because then you can be 100% interested in them, and that’s a great way to get them to show an interest in you as well.
