How do you do network and connect with patrons, suppliers, and staff? Are you doing it the same way that you did 5 – 10 years ago? If you are, then you are missing out on using new business tools for connecting in often unexpected and positive ways. The tools include blogs, online business networks, virtual collaboration spaces, and other social networking software. These tools allow us to virtually what we used to do face-to-face.
