The First Question Networkers Ask – #WHATIDO

I stumbled across an old article on Entrepreneur.com outlining the questions master networkers ask. It reminded me that, a couple of years ago, I created a Twitter hashtag called #WhatIDo.  At the time, I did it out of my frustration in trying to figure out what all the people I engaged with on social media did for a living. A client or friend would need something and I didn’t know exactly who to contact with the referral.

Honestly, this seems so logical to me.  We can’t support each other on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ etc.  if we don’t know what people in our network community do.

And I know that some people (myself included) are apprehensive about announcing work details to the world for fear we’ll facebook, twitter, social media, networkbe branded “one of those people who all they do is sell.”  So maybe we can create a compromise.  Let’s resurrect #WhatIDo Wednesday as a way for people to tell the world what they do for a living.

I hope you’ll join me in telling everyone what you do.  I’d love to know.  And send you leads if I hear of opportunities.

Whaddya say?  Are you in?

    I run a website that educates and promotes PEO services to small business owners. We have an automated matching tool that matches the site visitors with only the PEOs that can provide the specific services they are looking for. We help the business owners narrow down their search in finding the right company for them. We are not brokers so we do not get paid by commissions or closings, we simply charge the PEOs a flat monthly fee to have their services up for compare on the site, so the business owner can feel comfortable that the resources available are non-biased. A PEO, or Professional Employer Organization, can take over the administrative tasks of your business such as processing payroll, filing payroll taxes, offering employee benefit options and obtaining worker’s comp insurance for their clients. In addition, PEO’s offer consulting regarding issues such as government regulations and reporting requirements.

    Sharlyn, thanks for giving us this opportunity to share. There are so many groups with such strict no spam policies that I never know who I am talking to and a little background is nice to have when you are sharing & networking. This is a great way to format that!
