Using Google Apps and Cloud Technology to Increase Business Effectiveness | Indianapolis Computer System Works

Zach and I at Computer System Works, LLC do a lot of networking to build relationships and our business.

Since we founded this company it has been vital to our success and we meet people every day who say the same thing. In Indianapolis there is a rich community of active business networker’s, you must be selective and effective at how you use these. In our area we are launching the Indy Networking Events calendar.

Make a bigger splash at these events, more effectively use open networking periods to get to who we are looking for, and help new people get into networking who may have never tried it before.

Here is an example of what we’ve sent out to a few very active networker’s we already know and team up with:

We have shared a calendar with you to make finding networking events in the Indy area easier.  These will be primarily B2B/B2E events.

New shared calendar – we’ve seen a lot of success by going to events in numbers as we can help one another get to the people we are looking for by way of introductions in open networking.
Zach and I want to continue this effort and are sharing events with you to attend.  If you have someone at your organization that networks on your behalf please have them attend.

Please use the +Calendar button in the lower right to subscribe to the calendar or add it to your Google Calendar App!
(if the +calendar link doesn’t work check out the bottom of this email)

We also want to look at this as a way to support people newer to networking.
We can make arrangements to meet prior to the event to give you a run-down or do some advance open networking.
If you are not familiar with these events or what to expect but are interested in attending contact us at:

If you have other networking events that you would like to make available to the group we can get those added for you!

How we did it:

From Google Calendar we simply created a new calendar and started coordinating our networking events in one spot.

We then publically shared the calendar to maximize its effect.

Finally we used Google Apps Premier’s ShortLinks tool to create a short link for what is commonly a very messy looking address for a public calendar to give it a polished feel.

This entire process took ~20 minutes to set up, there are probably many ways you can use this to effect within your own networking circles or organizations!
