Dear Client,
Welcome to INNOVATE!, an administrative resource for small business owners. INNOVATE! is a product of Cybertary, a professional Virtual Assisting company. In these monthly emails we will be giving you numerous resources and tips you can use in your business, your home, your office and your life!
Hello, October. Autumn is officially here, and a new month brings us together once again.
In INNOVATE! this month, we're talking about the importance of making connections and networking - nurturing relationships old and new so that we may all achieve our personal bests. In "Monitor Your Company's Brand and Your Online Reputation," we'll tell you how to stay connected with your network across the web. It's important, after all, to know what your customers, near and far, have to say about your company. In "Web Conferencing: Good for the Pocketbook and the Planet!" we will talk about Web Conferencing as an alternative for connecting face to face, even when travel and in-person meetings become less practical for your business and the planet. And then, Meggin McIntosh, PhD, shares with us, "5 Truths About Networking."
We are so happy you are part of the Cybertary network. We hope our monthly tips and ideas help you to stay connected with all the networks in your life - your family network at home and your employee and co-worker network at the office, as well as the endless network of key players and potential customers out in the world.
Enjoy!

Web Conferencing
|
|
 Good for the Pocketbook and the Planet!
The cost of gas keeps climbing, airline ticket prices inch higher, and the economy continues to look dim. At the same time the environment is in trouble, and we all need to do our part to make less of an impact on the planet. In the business world, where we once may have used Web Conferencing as a convenience tool that helped us out in the occasional pinch, we may now need to consider it as one of the necessary tools that can help sustain a smarter, more cost-effective work philosophy.
We shared before about the ease and usefulness of Web Conferencing . And now, in both an economically and environmentally turbulent climate, we recognize Web Conferencing as a better option on both counts.

 Be the First to Know If You've Given Them Something to Talk AboutIn this era of the highly competitive Internet marketplace, it's important to stay finely tuned into any online chatter about your business.

For this reason, it's critical that you know what your customers are saying across the Internet. Who's talking about your brand? Who's linking to your website? For continued business growth, it's critical that you maintain a pipeline into your brand's online audience and reputation.
Here are a few FREE and easy tools that will help you keep tabs on your business's name online...

There are so many concepts about networking that you probably never learned. You probably never took a class in elementary, middle, or high school about networking - and didn't learn about it in college or graduate school either - at least not in a formal way. It's time to start learning and practicing more effective networking now.
