Alignable is a fast growing, non-nonsense business networking platform...very much like LinkedIn®, the Alignable platform is very bright on the horizon today. Every part of the platform offers ways for you to bring more visibility to your business or organization. My philosophy is ..."they have to see you in order to connect with you"; and Alignable helps you get seen in the community.
With hundreds of networking platforms available, it's difficult sometimes to see why one sticks out from another and time constraints for many small business owners don't allow for managing dozens of platforms. Your business should be enrolled only in the platforms that can clearly help you reach your goals. So let's dive into it.
| Using the Ask and Learn Section allows you to apply a Subtle Spotlight on Your Business, at the same time you are showing your value and sharing your expertise with others. |
As a part of your set up, keep in mind that Alignable is a local centric platform. If you have a national business, you'll want to build your profile on your headquarters and then spread out from there. Watch this 2 min Video from me to see just one of the ways I use Alignable. I'll show you how the "Ask and Learn" feature can help you build business relationships!
My best advice:
When posting questions in Alignable, you'll be notified when a member responds to you...try to visit the responders profile BEFORE you reply to them. Send your reply ASAP with a "thanks" and a "nod" that you have visited their profile. Add an invitation to take the next step in connecting with them ...especially if it seems appropriate, and mutually beneficial.
When answering questions Alignable, again FIRST visit the profile of the person who is asking the question. In your answer try to stay on point, be honest, be helpful, be positive and open for further business discussions.
In all, it's a business platform where people want to network and share business ideas, resources and ultimately make referrals and sales!
Sure you may meet a few people who only came to "test the waters" but that's okay too!
We'll help you spread the word about your business through-out our Network!
