11/11/11-Comes Once In a Lifetime

So, on this unique day, take the time to analyze the year so far in your personal life and in your business. The year is almost over. Look back to your 2011 New Year resolutions and see what you've stuck to, accomplished or still working on. Remember to stay motivated in all you're doing. If the business ideas you had at the beginning of the year, still aren't in fruition, 'put yourself in drive' and do all you can to have it up by the beginning of 2012. Look at the goals you set for yourself and your business and do all you can to accomplish one of them by the end of 2011. You still have time! Celebrate this unique day in reflection and remember, YOU have to make a move to see change.

I want to ask you what do you know about the following sites – FaceBook, Twitter, Linkedin, MySpace, Youtube ?

While you might know the URL for the sites in question, did you know that you could use these Social sites to drive qualified leads to your business?

For small business owners running a business and making a profit is more difficult day by day. Very few business owners have enough clients. Paying for leads, advertising in the Yellow Pages, running ad’s on radio and television are all expensive, and without any guarantee of getting the results you need.

I don’t want to sound negative, but that is the reality.

Social Media Marketing is affordably, and more importantly it is guaranteed to work. We are a local business who specialise in delivering results for small businesses in the Sacramento area and Globally via the internet.

Social Media Marketing is really a very simple concept. 

The fact that you have heard about FaceBook, Twitter, Linkedin, MySpace and Youtube should give you some confidence, because your customers have too. They use their computers just about every day – so getting your message in front of them is not going to take long.

Want to discover how to get results and increase profits using Social Media? Don’t miss my 2 Part Tele-training! Go here to register for my Social Media Training. It’s absolutely free to you this time.

 

Empowering you!

Why Empower Network?

Empower Network is a great way to earn another stream of income and empowering online marketers to grow their business.  It's a simple 3 step viral blogging system that's plug and play ready, the blog is aged with a ready to go WordPress and it's considered an authority site.  Remember, the blogging system is already ranked high with Alexa, so this allows your blogs to get ranked faster on search engines and Google.  This is half the battle if you're trying to get your blog up and running without the hassles of creating one from scratch.  Alexa Rankings for Empower Network

You actually have a sales funnel that your leads go through, along with auto-responders, capture pages and the behind the scene psychology of attracting your prospects to your blog.  All you need to do is blog daily and get traffic to your blog, tell others and get paid! 

Empower Network simply gets you up and running to post your blogs.  What's awesome is that you receive 100% commissions and your money is deposited straight into your bank account, instantly! 

This network started October 31, 2011, and to date, has paid out over $1M in 100% commissions to 9,000+ members. That's MOMENTUM in two months!  This is a great vehicle to help newbies that are struggling in either network or online marketing that may have never generated any income.

There are 3 levels to get started: Level 1-$25, Level 2-$100 and Level 3-$500.  Each level has intensive training to get you started, weekly conference calls.....and more!  If you get started for $25 and someone joins, you just broke even your 100% commission and its residual income every month.  So image if you purchased the Level 2 $100 and someone joins, you just got paid $100 with residual income and the same applies with the $500 level.  You only get paid on the levels you own (which you now have resell rights), if not, then that money gets passed up.  Once someone joins you directly or through someone on your team at whatever level, you'll receive an email saying, "Congratulations, You Just Received A $25 commission." 

Empower Network was created to help the average marketer brand themselves, make 100% commissions and simply "empower" you to become a better online marketer and help others.

I have included a video from two women that explains why you should get involved with Empower Network. 

Video from Tracy Walker on Empower Network

Could your mindset be holding you back from realized Social Media Success?

Any level of Woman Entrepreneur Empowerment requires continued personal, spiritual and business development endeavors.

Social media is playing a BIG role in business development. Believe or not your mindset also plays a BIG role in weather you are successful or not successful.

Your mind is a powerful thing and although there are many contributing factors the wrong mindset can hold you back from realizing the results you desire.

Here are three mindsets that will stop you every time.


1. Scarcity mindset. When you operate from a mindset of scarcity you see everything from a perspective of lack. You may resist trying to learn new tactics or even attempt to apply what you’ve learned because you feel there are already so many people out there in your field so why try? Truth be told there are many individuals out there who need your expertise and are waiting for you to step up and out so that they can resolve some of their problems with your solutions, however, how will they know if you never get out there. Also you may choose not to invest in additional resources that will empower your results but your scarcity mindset kicks in again causing you to hold on to every penny because there may not be enough for something else.

2. Inferiority mindset
Here you always size yourself up with others who are miles ahead of you. Stop! When you do this you will end up giving up and this is fuel for low self esteem. Instead tap into your brilliance. What makes you unique? What are you bringing to the table that gives you a competitive edge? It’s important that you take the time to discover this. Once you are clear on the value that you offer you will no longer practice the activity of comparison,however, you will arise and shine for all the world to see!

3. It’s too late for me mindset
Sure things may not have happened the way you want them to happen, however, as long as you have breath in your body there’s hope. Take inventory of why things are not working. Don’t be a victim of time. There are many who started in there latter years and actually realized more in their latter years than their earlier years. Spend your time discovering new ideas, strategies and resources. Determine who it is you are here to serve. Develop an appropriate brand and make sure you have an online visibility plan that works.
Where are you in your Social Media Marketing endeavors? Do you recognize yourself in any of the mindsets mentioned? There are many more. Take inventory of some of the negative chatter that happens when you attempt to move forward with Social Media.

Effectively using Social Media can dramatically increase your visibility, bottom line and position you as an authority in your industry.

I’d like to offer you an opportunity to do something positively different to POWER up your
Social Media endeavors.

You’re invited to join me for my 2 part Social Media Tele-series. Get Results, Profits using Social Media. I’ll be sharing insights specifically towards Facebook and Twitter.

Happy Thanksgiving! As we embark on this holiday season, we are also embarking on one of the best times of the year for business. Why? Glad you asked! Well, this is the time that shoppers are looking for great deals and in a "buying" mood. This is also the time where you'll see friends, acquaintances, family, and neighbors in different settings. Thus having the opportunity to share what you do and your products.

So, don't close your doors this season and assume people are too busy to buy from you.  This is a great time to challenge yourself. Set and accomplish some goals. Take advantage of the holiday season and go out of 2011 with a bang!

One way to accomplish some goals is to participate in Small Business Saturday on November 26, 2011. We've all heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and now you've got this! Small Business Saturday is dedicated to supporting small businesses. This year is the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express. Take advantage of this day and offer some great sales. You should also support small business yourself that day. Or, "pledge to shop small".  Go to an independently owned restaurant or boutique. Shop online from some of the BBWO merchants. Support businesses like yours and encourage others to do so as well. Visit http://smallbusinesssaturday.com/ for more information on Small Business Saturday.

I plan on trying Matt's Big Breakfast, which is local restaurant and I'm going to check out Nache Snow's, tallook.com.  What small businesses are you going to support??

Do you feel called to be the Queen over your Life and/or
Business?

10744071066?profile=original

Read on to discover empowering insights about the Queenly
Proverbs Woman.

How close have you looked at the Proverbs 31 Woman? What I’m going to share with you about this dynamic woman is  something
different from what so many teach on – the stereotyped housewife occupied with
dirty dishes and laundry, her daily life dictated by the demands of her husband
and her children. Nor do we find a hardened, overly ambitious career woman who
leaves her family to take care of themselves. And now lining it up with today’s
independent woman we don’t find her so independent that she doesn’t consider
the wisdom of God.

If you look closely you’ll find a strong,
dignified, multi-talented, caring woman who is an individual in her own right.
This woman has money to invest, servants to look after and real estate to
manage. She is her husband’s partner, her children’s’ nurturer and teacher, and
she is completely trusted with the responsibility for the family’s lands,
property and goods.

She has acquired the business skills to buy and
sell in the market, along with the heartfelt sensitivity and compassion to care
for and fulfill the needs of people who are less fortunate. She is not one to walk away from challenges of life but with pleasure and
vigor she tackles the challenges each day brings. Her husband and children love
and respect her for her kind, generous and caring nature. Women look to her as a leader to follow and respect. A woman of integrity and great character.

Her success is obvious. The key to her
successful path is even more obvious.

Regardless of her responsibilities which causes her to wear many hats, first
and foremost, she looks to God. Her primary concern is God’s will in her life.
She is a woman after God’s own heart. 

Okay that’s all good Robin for the Wives and Mothers, however,
what about those of us who Mother other’s children but are not wives or
biological Mothers? Is this just a guide for Moms and Wives?

Being a mother or wive is not a prerequisite learning a lesson about
your business or life from this awesome woman of God. It’s not necessary that
you run your own company either.  There is something to be learned by every woman from this
Queenly Proverbs Woman.

Here are a few virtues that make up the
Queenly Proverbs woman and make her successful in life and business.

1. Faith – A  Queenly Proverbs woman is committed to
and serves God with all of her heart, mind, and soul. She seeks His will for
her life and not only that she follows His ways. (Proverbs 31: 26, Proverbs 31:
29 – 31, Matthew 22: 37, John 14: 15, Psalm 119: 15

2. Marriage – A Queenly
Proverbs Woman respects her husband. She does him good all the days of her
life. She is trustworthy and a helpmeet. She is a helpmeet and has wisdom that
aids in being a helpmeet for her husband. She is not a busy body tending to
others homes and neglecting her own. (Proverbs 31: 11- 12, Proverbs 31: 23,
Proverbs 31: 28, 1 Peter 3, Ephesians 5, Genesis2: 18)

 Motherhood – A Queenly Woman
teaches her children the ways of her Father in heaven. She nurtures her
children with the love of Christ, disciplines them with care and wisdom, and
trains them in the way they should go. (Proverbs 31: 28, Proverbs 31: 26,
Proverbs 22: 6, Deuteronomy 6, Luke 18: 16)

4. Health – A Queenly
Proverbs Woman adheres to the scripture that states her body is the temple of
Holy Spirit and cares for her body. She prepares healthy food for her family
and herself. (Proverbs 31: 14 – 15, Proverbs 31: 17, 1 Corinthians 6: 19,
Genesis 1: 29, Daniel 1, Leviticus 11)

31: 16, Proverbs 31: 24, Proverbs 31: 31, Philippians 2: 14)

These are just a few of the virtues of a Queenly Proverbs Woman. I
will be sharing more in my presentation during The Queen’s Court Success System
2.0 scheduled to launch this Thursday and beginning in January 2012. For now you
don’t to miss my next call.

Register here for “Awaken The Queen in you and activate your Fabulousness!”

Raise your hand if you have time to go door-to-door selling your services? Raise your hand if you have the mental capacity to sign up for and remember every social network possible to sign in everyday and advertise your services? Lastly, raise your hand if you have the time to sit in front of your Twitter/Facebook/LinkedIn pages all day to publish numerous posts, marketing your business services? I don't see many hands. And if I see one or two, great for you! But let's be real! A lot of us don't have time to do all the things we want for our business daily. We are just too busy! Some us have full-time jobs, families to tend to, the kid's activities to attend, community obligations, etc. So, it takes a lot of effort to grow a successful business.

Luckily for us 'busy' people there are online services that will help us with our business needs for little to know money. Like: hootsuite, aweber, contact me, campaign monitor, prweb, ejunkie, and now busy925!

Even though it goes unnoticed, cold calling is probably the most effective way to grow your business. Believe it or not, cold calling is a part of business development. Steve Richard shares in his blog, 'Outbound Prospecting The Cold Calling Tactic That Works' that 71% of sales reps stated that most of their best deals came from self- generated outbound efforts. "Successful businesses do not sit back and wait for the phone to ring or marketing leads to fall in their laps. They proactively make business happen. The fact is outbound prospecting (a.k.a. cold calling or warm calling) is one well kept secret to 21st century business growth, especially for B2B service and technology companies"( Steve Richard).

If you are still skeptical, check out Diane's story. She's a mother of 3, divorcee that was fired from her 3 corporate jobs. She used cold calling as a method to not only find a job but to build a successful consulting business. You could also check out my friend, Melissa Taft  who fell ill when starting her network marketing business. She used cold calling as a method  to build her business because she couldn't go out and prospect. She is now in one of the top levels of the company and a motivating leader.  So, how can cold calling help your business grow? Like in these stories cold calling can help strengthen your 'sales skills', get you new customers, thus getting more business, and gets the word out about your company. 

Now, you just have to find the time to do it! Well, not really. That's what Busy925 is for. Busy925 is an outbound calling service that assists small businesses in their growing. They not only handle the outbound cold calling but every other call too! They will make your prospecting, follow-up, reordering, pre/post attendance generation, and marketing survey calls!

With all the services available to help with your social networking, email marketing, list building, and now cold calling, being 'busy' will never be an issue again!

Rejection: Get Use to it!

As owner of a growing business there are a lot of benefits to look forward to. Like working for yourself, setting your hours, MAKING MONEY, and helping people with whatever you're offering. One thing we don't look forward to while building  business are the rejections. Always hearing the word "NO". Not only can this word be disappointing but effects the growth of some businesses. Although this word can be upsetting to hear often, you have to get use to it. Rejection is apart of the business package. Think about it, never have you heard of someone having a 100% close ratio. You have to learn to bounce back from rejections and not take them personally. In fact, the way you respond to rejections may effect the customers decision. Use some of the following suggestions from Greg on sellingandpersuasiontechniques.com on what not to do when overcoming rejections.

1) Never but never argue.

Even if you are right you'll probably lose the sale.

2) Never, but never attack the person.

Separate the person from the objection and deal with it as apart from them. If you fight a person's feelings, more negative emotions will emerge and you will lose! (Not a good Rapport building tactic)

3 ) Never assume you understand an unspecified word

When overcoming sales objections if a prospect uses a word that is a Nominalisation.don’t start answering until you first understand their meaning. ( Briefly, a nominalisation is a word you cannot place in a wheelbarrow, it’s a concept not a tangible thing.)

For example, if a prospect says: “I need versatility.” Don’t start talking about flexibility or the range of products you have or your payment options because that may not be what your client is talking about.

Better to ask: 'Could you explain to me what you mean by versatility?' or

4 ) Never Insult the Prospect

Let’s look at an example.Prospect: 'Your prices are too high.'

It would not be very smart to reply with, 'Aren’t you interested in quality?'

You could reply with:“High prices compared to what?” or you could soften that with,“I understand your concern about pricing, we all need to ensure we’re competitive in this modern world, and could you tell me who or what you are comparing us to in making that comparison? ”

5 ) Never Avoid the Issue

'Quite frankly, your service is useless.'

It would not be right in overcoming sales objections to change the subject or talk in theory about what is good service because you are dealing with an emotion here. The client is obviously angry or frustrated when the use a word like “useless”. You need to help them vent their emotion.

Much better to stick with the issue, 'Obviously something has happened to make you feel that way. Can you tell me about it?'

You need to do your best to establish and maintain Rapport in these situations.

6 ) Don’t Shift Responsibility

When there is a problem don’t try to blame it on your office staff or your delivery people. Think about how that is perceived by your customer. Your customer will only understand that you are dodging the blame. What your customer wants is for someone to accept responsibility and fix the problem.

You need to be responding with “We….”, to show that you stand with your company then with “I’ll fix it.” The “I” bit is important as you are the company in the eyes of your customer and if you have any sort of relationship with him / her they will feel more comfortable knowing the person who is looking into it for them.

7) Never, but never make the person wrong.

When overcoming sales objections never make a person wrong because you will create an enemy.

Making the person wrong is not a good Rapport building strategy.

8 ) Never Contradict the Prospect

Prospect: 'You guys always seem to be having production problems.' Mistake: 'No, that's not correct. We had some problems when we upgraded the plant two years ago. Did you know we have not had any downtime in the last 18 months?'

A better reply would be: 'Yes, we had some production problems when we upgraded the plant and currently the plant is running flawlessly, in fact, it’s been running like that for the past 18 months. Can you tell me if you have experienced any delays so that I can investigate further?'

In the second reply, the sales rep acknowledges the prospect's perception of a problem. Remember, first you meet them where they are and then move them to where you want them to be.

9 ) Don’t dwell too long on an objection

When overcoming sales objections don’t dwell too long on an objection because you will amplify its importance in the mind of your customer. Better to answer briefly. Your answer should be just long enough to satisfy the prospect, and no longer.

10 ) Never guess an answer

When overcoming sales objections don't guess at an answer. Admit you don't know. Say: "I'm sorry, I don't have the answer to that question, but I promise to get the information to you."

When you actually get back to them with a reply, this will show you have the courage to admit what you don’t know and that you “walk your talk” and follow through on your commitments. This can only improve the client’s perception of you.

Now you know what not to do.

3 Keys to avoiding Burn out



astressfulday_1105021300x361.jpg

Are you looking for ways to increase your productivity? This is an area that I spend a lot of time in my endeavor to follow my passion which is empowering women and woman entrepreneurs.

There is very little that can cause a decrease in productivity as easily as burnout. While you may be tempted to believe that putting every waking moment into working on your job or building your business is a good way to get things done, there is an additional factor which you may not have considered. When you figuratively take your work home with you or never officially close business you can increase your risk of burnout and get much less accomplished in the long-run.

In this scenario you are not just doing work during your free time you are actually keeping your work on your mind during your free hours. When you are at home, or somewhere else other than in your workplace, you can easily burn yourself out by keeping it as your main focus.

 

 

 

 

Key #1
When work is done or business is done at home have an official shut down of your work, of your business.

It may go something like this. At work outside of the home close the door to the office, get in your car, turn on some music that actually allows you to transition from work to home.

Home business
Hopefully you have a place that’s designated as your home office. Shut the computer down whether that’s to put it on sleep or standby. Move away from the computer. If it’s in a office with a door, close the door. Put on some music that will also allow you to make the transition from work to home.

This sounds simple, however, you’d be surprised at how beneficial it is to making the transition from work to home. If you need to go back then consider it extra work and not stringing along your work hours throughout the day.

Key #2

Leave work thoughts at work

During your off-hours, you may put a lot of time into thinking about your job. You may worry about whether you will get something done on time, or the overall quality of your work. This can lead you to become overly stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. You may become more fatigued by your work when you are thinking about it and worrying about it than when you are actually doing your job.

Instead of stressing yourself out over whatever you need to accomplish the next day, or how much progress you are making with something you are working on, try learning how to leave those thoughts and concerns at your place of business.

Key #3

Cultivate positive habits

When you have free time, develop some positive habits. Learning how to relax, to participate in healthy recreation, and giving both your time and focus to your friends and family will all reduce your risk of burnout. When you have begun to develop these habits, it will not take long for you to see the results. You will start each new work day feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally refreshed. You will have more to give to your job when you are refreshed. You will be more motivated, more energetic, and more productive.

And you know I like to over deliver so here’s a bonus key

Bonus Key #4

Saturate everything with Prayer

Begin your day with prayer. You can never go wrong by staying close to the master planner. You’ll gain clarity of vision and peace will be imparted. Wisdom will also be given to those that ask. James 1:5

You can also meditate on God’s word through out the day and most definitely close your day with prayer.

Prayer will also help you to be less irritable and those things that would really get to you will seem to bounce off.

Cold Calling is the New Black!

Believe it or not, cold calling is still an effective sales tactic. If done properly, you can get the business attention you've been craving. Unfortunately, most of us would rather sit in the dentist chair listening to the smooth sounds of the drill extracting the cavity in the back of our mouth! Cold calling should not make you feel THIS ill. The following 8 tips will help you realize how effective good cold calling can be for your business and maybe ease some of your fears.

busy5-1024x682.jpg

Cold Calling Tip #1: Research your target market. 
Make sure you research the market you are interested in calling. Do market research (or google it! Save yourself some time and see what others have done already.) Find out as much as you can about the types of people or companies you're trying to reach. Will there be secretaries or employees answering the phone? Does the phone call go directly to the owner? What do these companies need that you can offer them?

Cold Calling Tip #2: Always have a script.
I know you want to be yourself when you call, as to not have it seem "scripted" or "planned" that you were calling this company. But believe me. If you don't have written down all the details you want to share in the call, you will fumble over the words and get hung up on! Make sure you have a step-by-step script written in advance so you know how to lead the conversation.

Cold Calling Tip #3: Consider sending prospects something before you make the call.
This tip is mostly a suggestion. ESPECIALLY if you have the budget. You do not HAVE to do this to have successful cold calls, but it definitely helps. If you send a promotional item, like something from your product line, something to remember you by, or an informational email. It is easier to get to the person you need to talk to. AND they tend to remember you when you call. Therefore, it is not really a cold call. you're just following up, to make sure they received your gift! 

 Cold Calling Tip #4: Keep in mind, the gatekeeper is your friend!
The "gatekeeper" is better known as the secretary, employee, receptionist, or relative that keeps the "riff-raff" away. They are there for a reason so you should appreciate them. Get them on your side! A great way to do that is to say, "Maybe you can help me...". Make sure you always get their name and refer to it several times in the conversation.  

Cold Calling Tip #5: Focus on your goals and reward yourself.
Make goals for yourself, like if you are calling huge corporations, you will talk to at least 6 owners within the week. Or, if you're contacting small businesses you will get 2 new clients. Remember that cold calling isn't ALL about getting a sale, but a chance to make a sale. If you're able to make some appointments or share what you do with a few people, then you've had a great week. After you have reached your cold calling goals, reward yourself! Have that massage, go to that fav restaurant, get that long-awaited mani/pedi, whatever. But do something to get yourself motivated to keep going!

Cold Calling Tip #6: Be specific.
If you are setting up appointments or call backs, make sure you specify when you will meet. INSTEAD of asking when's good for the customer, say something like, "it would be great to meet up, how would this Thursday at 4pm work for you? No? Well what about Friday at 4pm?"...be specific all the time, so people feel even worse if they bail on you :), that's just reality.

Cold Calling Tip #7: Know the facts.
According to AllBusiness.com, "Eighty percent of new sales are made after the fifth contact, yet the majority of sales people give up after the second call". So don't be that person that thinks, "it's not working". You have to build relationships and work people up to where you want them.

Cold Calling Tip #8: Outsource it!
These calls are not the most fun thing to do with your time. Most of us have other things we need to worry about within our business, that cold calling takes a backseat. So, why not outsource it? Have someone else do it for you! I know what you're saying though, "it's too expensive to hire a professional to make these calls!" But I have news, now it isn't!

Last week, I attended a NetworkPhoenix event. It was such a nice event! This is my second time attending an event by this coordinator, Gelie Akhenblit. It is always a five-star, red-carpet, event that includes numerous vendors, food, and drinks! Not only does she put on great events but she also has a social network feature on her website for members. There, people can connect, share business information, their website, Facebook and twitter information. I applaud Gelie for such a star-studded event. Excited for the next one!

I enjoy attending networking events because not only does it give me an opportunity to get the word out about my business but it allows me to step out of my comfort zone! :) I am forced to polish up on my business "spiel" and work on my firm hand shake and eye contact. I gave out and got a lot of business cards and met a lot of people. However, there are things I've noticed at networking events are not exactly Networking Event Etiquette.

Here are a few networking event tips to keep in mind:

1) Make sure you take plenty of business cards and information!

PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED at that. I have received pieces of computer paper with information on it and once someone ran out of cards so they wrote info on a napkin. That is not professional and not a good way to give a "first impression". You should also have your "spiel" down pat so you're not struggling to find words when explaining yourself. At networking events you will be getting a lot of business cards so it is a good idea to write notes to yourself on the back of the cards.

2) Dress professionally

ATTENTION LADIES! DO NOT COME TO A NETWORKING EVENT LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO THE CLUB! :) Unfortunately, I have been to events where cleavages and thighs were the highlight of the evening! There are plenty of stylish, professional, affordable outfits you can choose from. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that there is a possibility of meeting someone of the opposite sex at such an event that you may want to impress. But if they aren't attracted to you in your Diva-fit then why would you want him anyway? You want the men to take you seriously at these events. Keep it simple and look nice! GENTLEMEN you aren't off the hook either. I understand that jeans are becoming more common to wear because you can dress them up with nice dress shirts and jackets, but NOT ALL THE TIME! If you're trying to impress someone, no matter what year we're in, JEANS is not the route to go.

3) Go light on the drinks

Always a feature at networking events, are the drinks! I understand a glass of wine here and there may make the environment more bearable but if you're trying to build a business you might want to lay off a bit. I have had people who have talked my ear off about their personal lives or been in my communication box because they went over the unsaid 2 drink minimum rule. Keep it together and don't go overboard OR just wait until you're done networking . Remember you want to make a good first impression.

4) Be confident, positive, and friendly.

This is the time to show what you learned about having a good interview: give a firm handshake and direct eye contact. When meeting people and telling them about your business, you are conducting mini informal interviews! You should impress people with your clear communication, and knowledge in your business.

By keeping these few tips in mind, you should have a successful networking event experience. It is important to attend networking events because business doesn't come through the door if you don't get out of it. You want your business to be recognized at these events so you might have to attend up to 3 to 5 times. Happy networking!
