And the auto trade version only supports 1 broker - FXCM. I do recommend Forex Ambush - it does work as advertised. $197 for...more

It`s also "doing lunch" and attending events and many other equally valid and important things, but even so, most of what is written and thought about networking focuses on external networking.External networking is important. And, for a leader in a company of any size, I would suggest that the most important networking opportunity you have is the one all around you - networking with those within the company; networking internally.Since this type of networking isn`t talked or written about much; it is rarely thought about.And yet, for all of the relationships, learning and opportunities external networking can bring, the same can be true when you focus on building your network inside your company as well.Here are eight ways you can creatively and effectively network within the boundaries of your own organization.Invest one lunch a week.
