Ray van den Bel's Page

Ray is a new web 2.0 professional and futurist who strongly beliefs that the internet is moving to a more personal and individual experience. Quality of the online communication and networking experience is getting better all the time. It is increasingly enabled by online availability of broadband and server-capacity. It will change the way we interact online and transform it into a really working personal and business communication tool instead of a mere information billboard. It will enable us to show our inner-self, our personal or company communication style and to be very selective towards who we like to 'talk' with. We will build very targeted online communities with people using the same 'language' , the same communication styles just because we Can. Self-consciousness and being 'present' (Tolle) is thus in his opinion not only the first step towards online profiling and success in the new web 2.0 era, but also essential towards true individual creativeness, collective strategic thinking and Leadership. He has created the Open Networkers (opennetworkers.info) movement with that objective in mind for people who want to join him towards that goal. In less than a year, more than 20.000 online networkers have followed his example. Ray is currently busy writing a book about his vision in online networking and communication.

Ray advises and coaches companies and individual people to communicate and network effectively on Web 2.0 and web 3.0 in order to achieve that goal.

Networking styles, why are they so important?

My services are not only about the tricks, the do's and don'ts in networking online but about the question 'how to be effective with your online network'?.
It is very basic, know how you network, know the styles of others and you'll be more likely to reach out to the people that you want to reach.
If you know which styles is dominant in your company, your department or just your personal networking-style, you'll be able to use techniques in which you can successfully reach out to people / clients with the same or other networking styles...
I can help you with my services to discover that and to build on long-lasting networking relationships, within your company or within your client group.
