Tune Into Our Resources For Recovery Webinar

Business Networking Needs To Go All-Digital For Now

Though traditional meet-ups have pretty much gone into hiding during this time of the Coronavirus Threat, that doesn’t mean you have to just sit, worry, and overthink everything.

Instead, consider what you can do right now to make the most of this time, investing in your post-Coronavirus future.

One of those investments is really easy to make: take just a few minutes to  watch quick snippets of Alignable's new, on-demand Coronavirus Recovery Webinar. You will be happy that you invested the time.

Make The Most Of Your Local Business Community -- Virtually

This informative webinar covers some key information and very valuable tips quickly to help you continue to network, add to your connections, reinforce current business relationships, and build new ones. 

And you can do this all from the comfort of your laptop, while sitting on your couch, as you continue on your social distancing journey.

Our pros take you through how you can tap local Alignable discussions to engage and rally your community. Just as one example, you can offer a delivery service to restaurants that have been forced to limit themselves to only pickup and delivery. That's good for you, for them, and the health of your local businesses.

Not only are you getting the word out, but you can also interact with other small business owners who post comments. They might be customers in the very, very near future, so take advantage of that feature today. See how here:

Use Group Chat To Organize Groups & Coordinate Your Activities

Okay, so you can't go meet at a local watering hole to hang out and get to know local businesspeople.

But that doesn't mean you can't create a Group Chat of up to 25 folks. I mean, how fun could that be? Pretty fun and likely quite bonding.

When you see how it's done, you'll understand why it's become a very popular activity, especially as of late.

Some people are even using their Spark Cards that we sent them for their meet-ups, but virtually to get the conversations rolling.

Add Services & Events, Use Search To Grow Your Network & Stay Top-of-Mind

With all of the crazy news out there these days, you need to do your best to make sure current clients and other associates aren't too distracted from your business.

And you want to let them know that you're open and maybe even offering new services to address the predicament the world is in right now. As my grandfather used to say, "Don't Hide Your Light Under A Bushel.

Post a promotion and it will go out to your entire local community on Alignable.  See how that all works here:

Share Your Small Business Advice & Engage Your Industry

Go to the Advice section on your home page and type in a topic that you'd like to address. Find some questions that you can answer and start posting. And keep that interaction going, helping others and then looking to them for their advice and help, as well.

That's what the Advice section is all about -- except for the part where these conversations help to show off your personality and dedication and tend to forge new connections and referrals for people. (That's a very endearing form of digital networking, by the way). Watch the last short video to see more:
