#TNTBootcamp - Series Kickoff Review

Last week +Ronnie Bincer and I launched a new series Influence Marketing Tools N' Techniques aka #TNTBootcamp, which airs on the 1st & 3rd Mondays each month at 11:30am PST / 2:30pm EST in a live hangout on air on Google Plus. #TNTBootcamp will help you learn to identify and engage with key influencers in your industry and to understand how to "get on the radar" and become influential yourself. Here's a recap of our first show.

Audience member, +Robyn Adams, shares her thoughts on the show:

One of our audience members, +Krishna De, acted upon a suggestion +Ronnie Bincer made during the show and put together a recap along with time stamps to the content she found most relevant (click here to view her post).

Finally, audience member +Jessica Dewell added her own "sparkle" to her recap:

"Whether new to G+ (you have to check out +Ronnie Bincer's knowledge base) or been here awhile, there's something for you in this HOA. Once you know what your influence is (Love it that +Christine DeGraff says we all have influence) it's easier to use tools and concepts to connect and build relationships that may present collaborative opportunities (psst...no instant gratification here!).

Take aways from #TNTBootcamp:

• When you re-share add your own sparkle and provide value. 

• Share what you think is great (not because you are trying to get noticed by someone). 

• Instant gratification is not what building relationships are all about.

Thanks again to +Krishna De, +Robyn Adams and +Jessica Dewell for taking the time to share what they learned from our first show. Please join us on Monday, February 3rd as we interview +Nils Tschampel from +CircleCount to learn how to use CircleCount to find influencers to connect with as well as to learn about an exciting new CircleCount feature launching during our show!
