Both Sides of the Table

SEPTEMBER 8, 2009

I was reading Chris Dixon’s blog tonight. He writes with a great perspective and is well worth reading.

The starting point of product IS marketing, which is what a lot of young entrepreneurs that never studied business don’t realize. When I first started blogging Digg was still at its peak. You might write a piece now and then that catches fire but there is nothing repeatable that would be useful for a business.

On the card I usually write the date, where I met the person, how I met them and what value I can bring to the table. In an excel sheet put the name of the event, link to the event, event organizer and event theme. Now study the event organizer. Blogs and Forums. What are their interests? Joint Venture Partnership.

This started as a post in which I was going to write out tips to personal branding and became in stead an essay of my own branding journey. Every time I approached Network Solutions (or any technical group in Accenture) they wrote me off as “a business guy” since I studied economics and was on the Accenture “business track.”
