It is the Have and Want listings on ICIWorld that help you identify people with whom you choose to explore to do business with.

This is also why we choose to provide old and expired listings because they are opportunities to network to do business.

For those who do not want search older listings, you do not have to.

Everything is dated and there is a choice to search strictly active listings and in addtionally to search and set a date for the search.

We have recently (2014) developed an Age field for the Apps for iPhones, Androids, and mobile applications for all mobile devices. They provide the ability to search and display the newest listings ie: 30-60-90-180 days old, one year or all. The display default is Active listings 6 months old.

One has always been able to search using the Advanced Search using the calendar to set how far back one would like to include in a search.

If you only want listings 30 days old you can do that. Many subscribe to receive listings daily and that is how a $13M apartment building got sold within 3 days.

In today's fast paced world people can overlook networking and miss opportunities to do business. Develop good business relationships with people and doors will open for you. All the listings on ICIWorld have the potential to help you do business in one way shape or form.

We believe that everyone will come to appreciate the permutations and combinations of connections that are possible to do business with the people that have placed information on ICIWorld. Only by being a member will one have full access and place current active Have and Want opportunities that is virtually available in searchable databases and distributed to the real estate industry by way of thousands of daily emails to subscribers.

The Value Of Networking

by Jonathon Farrington

To some, networking means simply meeting or calling someone new for what might be a one-off discussion or event. In this limited sense, networking is only a trading relationship in which two parties seek to discover whether they have anything of mutual interest to talk about. They either make some sort of exchange or quickly move on. This makes networking a highly ‘transactional’ subject, much like buying and selling or negotiating with someone.

 

My view is very different because I believe that networking has a much wider definition. In fact it can be a major social and life skill to be used in both a business/organisational and personal setting.

 

Network & Relationship Building

 

The ‘relationship building’ aspect of networking is a long-term commitment to knowing more about yourself and others and what you may be able to do together that you couldn’t do (or couldn’t do as well) alone.

 

The reality is that anyone can systematically adopt effective networking as an individual strategy. It can play a key part in linking you with a wider range of people who can help you to achieve more – whatever ‘more’ means for you.

 

The Benefits Of Networking

 

The benefits of effective networking are many. Some of these are:

 

•          It is the most cost effective marketing tool available

 

•          Networking referrals will typically generate 80% more results than a cold call

 

•          70 – 80% of all jobs are found through networking

 

•          Every person you meet has 200 – 250 people with whom they connect who can potentially assist you

 

Anyone that you might want to meet or contact in the world, is only five to six people contacts away from you

 

As if these reasons were not enough, a healthy and active link to a network is a vast resource available to every individual at a low personal cost. It can help you to achieve a range of goals that otherwise might be too hard or out of reach.

 

A key point to understand is that networking is achieved at low personal cost not no personal cost. I am not suggesting that networking is a quick fix or fad idea that can be easily adopted to make things better for a while. However, it can provide immediate results for those prepared to invest their time and energy.

 

The Concept Of Networking

 

Many of the definitions of networking highlighted in the next paragraph may surprise some people, in as much as they suggest that networking is an altruistic activity involving giving and sharing, rather than taking.

 

In Summary: Networking Definitions

 

•          A power that comes from a spirit of giving and sharing

 

•          A willingness to honour ourselves, our relationship and our connections with the universal flow

 

•          A way of sending out into the system what we have and what we know, and having it return to re-calculate continually through the network

 

•          An organised way of creating links from people we know to people they know for a specific purpose

 

•          Giving, contributing to and supporting others without keeping score

 

•          People caring about people

 

•          Fostering self-help, and the exchange of information; seeking to change society and work life and to share resources

 

•          Ensuring the right to ask a favour without hooks

 

That’s the real value of networking!
