The Blog Of Greg Rollett

Ah, work at the beach. That’s what we dream of in this Internet Lifestyle. And it’s exactly what I got to do this week when I took a quick trip over to Cocoa Beach to hang out with Sal Greco. We ended up shooting 4 videos on Internet Marketing, productivity, products and networking.

Today I wanted to get up the first of the 4 videos. What I thought was a cool angle is that fact that Sal and I are 100% polar opposites in how we approach networking. Sal is loud, straight forward and has no shame in just striking a conversation.

On the other hand, I like to build rapport and authority with a networking crowd, thus why I always try and speak on panels, host or sponsor an event or bring in superstars on my behalf. What this does for me, is it allows others to approach me. Makes me much more comfortable.

Anyway, here is a quick 5 minute video shot right outside of Coconuts on Cocoa Beach where we go over some networking tips and get some specifics on how Sal has been able to reach the A-List (especially in the affiliate marketing world) very quickly.

Networking Takeaways

1. Be noticeable. You want someone to remember you and what you do. If you cannot accomplish this task, you are wasting your time.
2. Network with a “fear of loss” mindset. What is going to happen if you don’t talk to someone or meet a potential partner or affiliate? This fear of loss should give you the strength to pursue the elite while networking.
3. Let your personality shine. Sal likes to get down on the dance floor and look loud. I like to speak. What is the personality trait you can bring out when networking?

What is your networking strategy? Let’s chop it up in the comments below.
