It's Marketing not a meeting
By Hector Cisneros
Years ago, I was at a business luncheon, talking to several attendees about what I was planning for the upcoming year. It was the New Year, and we were talking about new products, growing our businesses and marketing. I brought up the subject of creating a word of mouth marketing campaign that I would deliver through my BNI chapter.
Making the most of your next Networking event.
By Hector Cisneros
Your BNI Networking Summer Social is coming up, are you ready? Here are some tips to get the most out of that next social or any networking event.
Always go to any networking event with a plan. Ask yourself these questions. Who am I looking to be introduced to? What new businesses have I been working this month? What professions often send me referrals? Also are you there to get referrals just for yourself or for others. I will often bring 3 business cards of one member of my BNI chapter and work to specially get them referrals that day. Using these questions should help you produce your list of at least 6 to 12 names or categories of people.
