Synopsis

It’s International Networking Week! Check out our YouTube video if you haven’t seen it.

In this episode, Dr. Misner looks into his crystal ball and makes some Business (Networking) Predictions for 2010.

1. The economy will improve in most countries around the world. Focus on solutions and get out of the quagmire.
2. Online social networks will continue to grow in prominence—and so will the frustration of trying to convert them into viable business opportunities. VCP will not go out of style.
3. Companies small and large need to create a social media strategy.
4. Victims of downsizing will become active in networking groups.
5. We’ll see more integration between face-to-face and online networking, e.g. BNI Connect.
6. More and more companies will create websites that operate in two directions.
7. Face-to-face networks will continue to grow.
8. Companies that succeed in 2010 will remain agile and will focus on relationships.
