Business Social Networking for the Green Industry

If you are a member of the green industry—landscaper, designer, architect, nursery owner, grower, supplier—or any other position, you can get some real advantages from business social networking with Linked-In.  Barbara Landrith, working with the California Landscape Contractors Association, has started a wonderful resource on Linked-In. Here you can share questions and ideas, post jobs and make connections with other knowledgeable people in the green industry.

It’s hard to start or maintain a good business in a bad economy, but by interacting with other professionals in your market, you increase your chances of success.

At the recent Los Angeles Landscape Industry Show, I was lucky enough to chat with Barbara and with Miriam Goldberger (owner of Wildflower Farm and Eco Lawn) about the benefits of  joining the excellent group Barbara has put together through Linked-In.  Here’s a little informal video that will give you more information.
