PATCA Mtg-Making the Most of Consultant Networking Using Social Media
Interested in getting started with social media and making instant
business referral connections? PATCA's March dinner meeting features a
return visit by member Helen Kennedy, of Kennedy Consulting Services LLC.
Plan to bring your laptop, connect to popular social media sites, and
initiate some active online networking with other attendees.
This is a hands-on, how-to workshop that promises to be fun and highly
interactive. In recent months, PATCA has presented a number of programs
focusing on social media, outlining the power and reach of real-time
conversational tools. Kennedy will facilitate a session in which PATCA
members and guests can jump online and make connections with each other,
and with our organization.
In this session we will:
* See an overview of how PATCA is using social media.
* Understand public vs. private personas, and why it is important that
your consulting practice have its own identity.
* Establish the basics. Social media novices will start by creating
accounts on Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter.
* Connect with PATCA members to initiate conversations that create
awareness and drive referrals.
* Identify ways to link your social media tools to save time, yet still
have an active presence.
This is a marketing-focused session designed to activate the PATCA member
network online and start a robust conversation with fellow consultants.
Attendees are responsible for the security of their own computers and
data. A wireless network will be provided by the meeting facility, and
participants will establish their own connections.
