Why Even the Smallest Business Needs to Know about Web 20

Why Even the Smallest Business Needs to Know about Web 20

While just about every geek or internet marketer in the world knows about Web 2.0, almost no-one in small business (and a lot of people in big business) have no clue what it's about, what it can do for them, or even what it can save them from!

Even though in most cases it's entirely free!

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 enables absolutely anyone to network and brainstorm in order to gain knowledge, expertise, and leverage! Web 2.0 is on-line community building, and examples are MySpace, Ryze, LinkedIn, and My Speed Business Network.

Why Web 2.0 is Crucial to Your Survival

The truth is that anyone who isn't involved in Web 2.0 is missing out on valuable business development help, while those who spend as little as 1 hour a week utilising their on-line community are reaping the benefits. No-one ever succeeded in business entirely on their own, and especially today, if business people are not part of a community, to put it bluntly, they will not survive!

Used properly, Web 2.0 offers easy access to expert advice and personalised mentoring. In addition, because of its global reach, it overseas markets in easy reach. Finally the tiniest business can compete globally with ease, all because of Web 2.0.

The Best Web 2.0 on the Planet is Free!

We built My Speed Business Network with the intention of offering businesses very much more than anyone else, and we intend to stay way out in front! To say that we're aggressive in giving value would be an understatement!

One of the things you'll enjoy is the absence of scammers and spammers that abound almost everywhere else! My Speed Business Network is the only Web 2.0 business community that personally (via a real human being) vets every single registration, preventing the wrong people from even setting foot in the door.

We're determined that ours will remain a community of bona fide business people only, and that we deliver our members a safe and relevant environment stuffed full of fabulous business resources - free!

On My Speed Business Network you Can Access these Free Resources:

*** Form your own clubs , networks, blogs, or forums, using these to communicate with your colleagues or your customers, or to showcase your expertise to other members.

*** Send out mass mails to people who have elected to be in your own professional community (not, of course, to the general community!) You choose whether your community is public (available to others) or locked and private (accessible by your invitation only).

*** Upload business development audios or videos, and download those shared by others.

*** Place your own classified advertisements.

*** Announce product launches or press releases.

*** Take part in strategic business discussion to develop your business or solve business challenges.

*** Search for colleagues, quality suppliers, mentors, associates/advocates/alliances, or even staff.

*** If you're an event manager , such as BNI or WIB or BPW, you can advertise your events free of charge.

*** Free help to start your own Speed Business Networking Group (you retain 100% of revenue) - yes, we're giving away the farm, and as long as you'll agree to abide by our code of practice, we'll give you every assistance, and even let you use our name.

*** Free help to set up your own in-house, advanced sales training program. (See the manual "Take Your Team to the Top" on the web site.)

Your own business community holds the key to both information and inspiration, and here in this community there's a vast reservoir of exactly that. Best of all, it's a community that's responsive to your needs, and is willing and able to give business what it needs to survive and thrive - and just about all of it is completely free.

While the business dinosaurs are still busy eating the last leaves, move into the future of business on Web 2.0 today and watch your business move into another level.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
