When I first started out with my Facebook Profile, it was with the intention to connect with current and old friends and colleagues. It wasn't long before I thought of how I could market my company more and reach an audience at a more direct route. Then it dawned on me, 'it's not what you know, but who you know!' and who they know for that matter.

In being proactive with my personal profile and forming a company group, I started engaging in dialogue with key contacts in my friend network, I've attracted hundreds of new visitors to our company website, attracting them to engage in Insegni's services. In addition, the dialogue I've engaged in with new acquaintances and friends have sparked new business opportunities.

The networking opportunities are incredible on Facebook and for that matter LinkedIn and Xing of which are focusing on the professional business networking.

In summary, Facebook, LinkedIn and Xing have helped to enhance my business and personal life with new, enriching relationships and most importantly, profits.
