[Under the Waterfall]: lcompr has entered at 12:27 pm
[lcompr] 12:28 pm: hello - I'm new to the network and have only read a few postings.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:30 pm: Hello there, and welcome
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:30 pm: I am glad to see you made it over with no difficulty.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:30 pm: You can change your text color if you like by clicking the white square just above this text box.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: I call it changing my dress, like this.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: :D
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: good job!
[lcompr] 12:31 pm: thanks
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: I like the yellow on you, it is soooo becoming.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: :D
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:31 pm: So you are new to Ryze?
[lcompr] 12:32 pm: thanku
[lcompr] 12:32 pm: yes, I found it from another site b/c I'm trying to expand my network of business leads
[lcompr] 12:32 pm: are you also on linked in?
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:32 pm: I see. So you are new to the Ryze Network but not to networking.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:33 pm: Yes, I am on several networks but Ryze's WIN is the one I have found most active and addicting. :)
[lcompr] 12:33 pm: i'd say i'm pretty rusty at networking. It's funny, I have a bit of a block selling myself, but no problem selling things for other companies.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:34 pm: Understood. You are not alone.
[lcompr] 12:35 pm: that's good to hear about the group b/c I find I tend to check linked in a few times a month - not frequently.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:35 pm: What business are you promoting? Yourself in re Services, or another ie Products?
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:35 pm: Yes, if you don't check in at WIN often you will get lost for sure.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:36 pm: Have you turned off your automatic message notification for WIN?
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:36 pm: That will drive you crazy!
[lcompr] 12:36 pm: I am in Public Relations, so I need to market myself to companies who want to market themselves.
[lcompr] 12:36 pm: I don't think I have, but I don't click on them all.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:37 pm: Well let me tell you how to turn it off so you don't go over your limit on your inbox.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:37 pm: When you are on your ryze home page on your left is a navagation area.
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:38 pm: can you open another browser window and go to your page and I will talk you through it?

[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:44 pm: Next choose Friends only.
[lcompr] 12:44 pm: ok
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:44 pm: now, Network with me check the first one not the second
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:45 pm: and finally check the last box
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:45 pm: Then Update again.
[lcompr] 12:45 pm: I only have one box on the network with me
[*Ginger Marks-DocUmeant] 12:46 pm: ok, some of us have more because we have chosen to invest in our membership. Not to worry.
