"Networking takes effort. We all know we should do it, but it's hard. And you need to be crazy organized with your address book and have an impressive memory to network effectively-right? Not necessarily. Several apps have the power to take the "work" out of networking, if you know how to use them. These tips will get you started so that you can be a better and more efficient player in your network, and that could in handy the next time you need a favor."
"An app called Cloze (for Web, iOS, and Android) connects to your email and social media accounts to keep tabs on people who are important to you and let you know what they're doing. Cloze knows, for example, based on my history of communication with my boss that he's probably a pretty important guy in my network. So when I opened the Cloze app today, a tweet from him was at the top of my feed."
Networking often feels difficult and demands organized contact lists and strong memory, but apps can reduce the workload. Consolidate contacts from email, social networks, and other sources with tools like Brewster to search and merge duplicates. Use Cloze to connect email and social accounts, surface important contacts and recent activity, and apply filters to stay engaged. Refresh memory before meetings with apps that surface prior interactions and context. These app-based workflows streamline contact management, prompt timely engagement, and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of professional networking when favors or introductions are needed.
