Thank You

The first Art of Marketing seminar was a huge success. I'd like to thank all the enthusiastic participants. I appreciate your support and your kind words.

I'd very much like to hear about your networking adventures as you attend events and practice the techniques that you learned. If you'd like to share a comment here, about your adventure, or about the seminar itself, I would appreciate seeing your comment.

Many asked when the next seminar will be. I'll post is as soon as the date is confirmed.

In the meantime, remember that every networking event is an opportunity to help someone who may become a key relationship for you in the future. Master Networkers have a "how can I help you" attitude. You're on you're way to achieving the gold standard.

Choosing the Right Networks Seminar

As business people we hear it all the time - “You have to network!” The problem is no one teaches us how to it. Effective business networking is a skill. So, like any other business skill it can be learned.

With a few techniques, tools and tips you can learn how to choose the networks that will work for you based on what you want your networking activities to accomplish.

In this workshop we’ll define 7 types of business networks, help you determine which ones are right for you and give you the tips and techniques to make every networking event a success.

No matter what phase of business you’re in: whether you’re new to business and looking to create a network of contacts; or experienced in business and looking for key contacts, when you know how to network effectively you’ll be able to connect with the right people at the right time.

Does Business Take Summer Vacation

$1,742,080 is the amount of business BNI Golden Horseshoe members created for each other last July and August.

Last year through July and August in the Golden Horseshoe Region BNI members gave each other $1,742,080 in business ($1,588,406.00 in 2011). That’s pretty close to ONE and three-quarters of a million dollars reported in the months of July and August! We know this to be true, because BNI is the only referral network organization that tracks referral revenue.

Summer is a very profitable time for referral generation. Maybe it’s because people have a bit more time; we’re not quite so rushed. The kids are out of school and that may free schedules a bit. It’s a great time to catch up with folks we haven’t connected with in a while. We can meet for a coffee or lunch and even sit outside when we meet.

Does business take a summer vacation? Absolutely not! So book time this week, to meet with a referral partner. And invite a contact to your BNI meeting.

It’s worth it!
