The N Factor

Adrie Reinders and Marion Freijsen have obviously spent a lot of time thinking through how improved technologies and electronic networks have transformed our ability to network or interact socially, from both a business and a human perspective. Their new book, The N Factor, shares many of their insights into how new forms of networking allow different, innovative, and creative avenues to create a profitable business or simply improve the profitability of your current business. This is not a book merely full of jargon and ideas. The authors share their practical ideas on how building a virtual, personal network can help stimulate a business, and how you then maintain it, nurture it, and grow it.

What distinguishes this book from the thousands of how-to-navigate-today s-business-environment guides is its focus on the wide variety of electronic tools that are available today to help you do your networking ranging from e-mail communication to the more advanced networking sites and search engines. In short, it explores how virtual electronic networks have transformed the possibilities open to anyone for building a personal network. While these technologies are relatively new, they have already made themselves virtually indispensable for business executives. But in the same way that people adapt to any new software or hardware, most quickly settle into using its basic functions and don t begin to explore the vast possibilities that the technology offers.

Hotel Citizen M. - Special E.Factor discount!

E.Factor members get a special discounted rate at Citizen M. - the most innovative concept in hotels you can imagine.

Something exciting is happening in the world of hotels. A new type of traveller is walking through the door. These modern individuals are explorers, culture-seekers, professionals and shoppers. They travel a lot – both long and short haul. They are independent, share a respect for the places they visit and are young at heart.

We call this new traveller: 'Citizen Mobile'. Coming from cities near and far, they share a common desire: affordable luxury for the people. And they are so important to us, we named our hotel after them.

citizenM – short for citizen mobile – has reflected on and learnt from the needs of these new mobile citizens. They know what they like in a good hotel and what they don’t need from a bad one. What they like includes stylish design and great value. They appreciate the best entertainment for free. The latest technology. quality products, a sociable atmosphere, a comfortable bed and great pillows (never, ever underestimate the pillow). They need a hotel in a good location. What they don’t want is unnecessary or hidden costs. They don’t need marble fountains or out-dated services.
