Octavio presented the Top Executive Network (TEN) so succinctly that I rushed to join the group straight after listening to the podcast. As I prepare to start a consulting practice on business networking, I’ve also become my business’s new Chief Networking Officer!
In addition, it was excellent to get a perspective from another continent, especially from the Iberian group of Brazil, Portugal, Spain the bulk of Latin America which looks to be a potential growth market.
One of the most informative episodes of this fantastic series.

Hi Stan and Octavio:
Both of you as residents of the Southern Hemisphere are teaching us Northerner’s some good social networking lessons:)
Octavio, you have presented a good case of branding yourself very well to your target audience–business executives–as a CNO. Very catchy…. Also, thanks for sharing some of the ways your TEN goes beyond LI functionality and offers benefits to busy executives.
Great concept–and with your extensive networks–your business model looks poised to take off big time. You have lots of neat ideas…
Best of luck!
