As a Networking Expert/Coach, I developed Referrals Unlimited Network (2005) and recently launched Contacts to Connection!

As a Networking Expert/Coach, I developed Referrals Unlimited Network (2005) and recently launched Contacts to Connection! In walking my talk, I have more than 12,000 first-level connections in LinkedIn and approximately 1,500 "friends" on FaceBook and more than 5,000 followers on Twitter! I know you do need the numbers before you can accumulate quality connections, because not every connection will be a good one for you. My passion is helping “Main Street Businesses” (offline) get known, liked and trusted in the online world and coaches these businesses in the art of social networking and social marketing. Connections + Conversations + Communication + Caring = Creating Relationships = More Clients + More Customers and ultimately, more Cash!
Through my networking, I help others learn to do what I did, helping to save them lots of time and heartache, by teaching them how to network efficiently and effectively. The knowledge I share as a Networking Expert/Coach comes from real-life experience; my passion is in developing relationships and teaching others to do the same. I have fine-tuned my networking and netweaving skills by operating my own business since 1993 and “practicing what I preach.” Building relationships with others is the first step in building a social circle or a circle of influence. When others know, like and trust you, your name will be remembered when the possibility of a referral arises. Who would you want to work with . . . someone who was referred to you by a personal friend or connection or someone you found in a directory, with no background available for use in hiring.
Currently I am serving as the Networking Coach/Netweaving Expert for Social Circles (A LinkedIn Group); and co-moderater of several LinkedIn forums.
Public speaking is one of the ways that I market my practice. I am available as a speaker for various groups online and offline. Please visit my website at
