I’m attending a Lake Washington Technical College event this morning. They are holding a fundraising breakfast for the LWTC Foundation.
Should be a good event.
The keynote speaker is Eddie Barbini, Executive Producer of the Discovery Channel’s popular reality show, Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe, star of the show, will make a special video appearance.
I’m hoping to meet some new people and make some positive contacts.
I’m thinking of joining the Master Builder’s Association in King County. Does anyone have experience with them? Thoughts? Good networking group?
On Nov. 1, I am attending a 300 plus networking meeting in Lynnwood. Bring your business cards and 30 second commercial and get prepared to meet people.
The key to this meeting is the follow up. After the meeting, send a thank you card and then call within a week to set up an appointment. When you have 300 plus people, you can’t sell anything. You just want to meet them and find something in common with them or better yet some problem they are having so that you can set an appointment to help them out.
Let me know if you want to go so I can register you. It’s Free!
Ovaleye posted a review of the book The Referral Engine. I’m going to have t
o check it out. I’ve put a link back to their blog below. Here is an excerpt…
The Referral Engine
By John Jantsch
It goes without saying that referrals are one of the best and least expensive ways of obtaining customers. In this book the author, John Jantsch, provides great detail regarding identifying, attracting and maintaining referral sources. While the book is full of great information earning it a good rating, I like to also rate the books I read on how much buzz they create around the Ovaleye office. The relatively low buzz factor this time held the rating to a 4.
The final chapter of the book provided a good summary of what was learned in the previous chapters. Summarizing the summary even further it went about like this.
