(PRWEB) April 3, 2004 --Professionals in every walk of business life can now network with each other virtually anywhere in the country -- or the world. The new Point Relevance.com web site links business people with each other through a series on on-line tools and options that identify and categorize areas of expertise and interest. The hit-and-miss element of networking is eliminated. Membership is free.

The Internet has been facilitating contact between people since the beginning, said Allistor Myers, president of Point Relevance. And business people have been using it to network on an ad hoc basis. We thought: lets help business people focus their on line networking, so we created Point Relevance to make the process simple and efficient with a dedicated site. PointRelevance.com brings them together in an efficient environment that lets people find the right business contacts for their requirements. Were excited about the potential in Point Relevance. It adds a new dimension to contact building for business people."

While the site harnesses the advantages of connectivity in the electronic age, the objective for networkers remains the same: the generation of sales leads, promotion of ideas and opportunities, identification of people with similar needs and interests, learning about and promoting face-to-face networking events, and exploring career options.

Point Relevance members customize their online snapshot" to suit the degree of exposure they want. The snapshot includes a members name, company, title, industry, website, their area of business specialty or interest and what they can offer other members. As they prefer, members can add more information about themselves in their profile, outlining previous companies they've worked for, personal skills and interests and more.

Members can search for and communicate with potential contacts with the Point Relevance search capability. It allows information to be captured through search parameters of name, title, company name, industry, and city.

Communication between members is conducted using Point Relevances internal messaging system so that member email addresses are never made public, eliminating the risk of receiving spam.

Face to face networking will always be an important part of doing business," said Myers. So weve add site content that identifies important networking opportunities by region. Point Relevance will become the go-to destination for people with event information to share and people looking for the right place to network. For example, The Toronto Board of Trade is hosting a Young Professionals Networking event that includes a speech by Dr. David Morley, Executive Director of Doctors without Borders. You can find out details about the event at Point Relevance. Imagine the efficiency of having information about every top tier networking event housed on the same site. Its going to be a great thing for organizers and audiences. "

Point Relevance is a great addition to your marketing mix," said Myers. We expect Point Relevance to grow exponentially by word of mouth and e-mail, as members get a sense of the opportunities they can tap into through connecting on line. By inviting contacts they know in the real world to be a part of Point Relevance as well, the network and networking opportunities will expand."
