Members who attended Get Connected '09 gave rave reviews:
Daniel Guilfoyle, Public Adjusters Inc. - “The event got me to think outside the box on how to increase the number of legitimate referrals that I can give and receive. I can definitely see an increase in my bottom line as a result. I strongly encourage all my relationships to participate in next year’s event in Miami.”
Marianne Perkins, CompuPay, Inc. - "The workshops gave me the tools on how to increase my networking skills as well as be a stronger team leader. I also learned how to better educate my network on how to give me referrals.”
Drew Kern, Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors - 10 year member of BNI - “A great educational networking weekend that instructed, and motivated me, to take networking to a higher level."
Our country goes through a "recession" every 7 - 10 years approximately. It is a time to take advantage of new opportunities that will present themselves. It is a time to strengthen ourselves through personal growth. It is a time to strengthen our resolve to do business the way we do it best: referral marketing.
We as human beings cannot possibly implement all we learn in any one given event, after we return to our office. We lose more than half of it. If you learn and apply just one thing you learned effectively your time has been well worth it. That is why we must keep attending these events, keep learning, and applying new skills to continue to grow our businesses.
 Get Connected 09 - was a great success with Over 130 professionals from across the nation! Everyone who attended the conference was impressed by the educational offerings and the truly amazing opportunities to "get connected" to the people they need to take their business to the next level. The focus of this event was to bring business professionals together to network with each other, and to further educate themselves through workshops by key networking specialists from across the world.
 We were all reminded to live by the "Givers Gain" philosophy. To help others first and they will want to help us. One piece of advice was to contact 5 clients this week that you have not spoken to in awhile. Ask them how they are doing, how is their business, how can you help them? They will be so impressed by your concern and caring for them, that they will naturally seek the same information from you.
We all know it is easier to retain current customers than it is to find new ones. Rushing out to find new clients in these trying times may not be the answer. Remember your past and current clients. Invest time to reconnect and solidify relationships with them, mine your current database. Make appointments with five contacts on your list each week and ask them "HOW CAN I HELP YOU". Connect them to the resources they need to maintain their success. They will remember you for it.
We were also reminded through Dr. Ivan Misner's presentation "Recession Proof Your Business through Networking"; that while there may be a "recession", we need not participate in it. Through our own actions and attitude we can get through these times.
International Networking Week™ is an initiative of BNI and features a number of networking events across the world! The goal of International Networking Week™ is to celebrate the key role that networking plays in the development and success of businesses across the world.
Take your personal growth to heart in 2009 and prepare to do the same in 2010. Apply 10% of what you earn, toward educational opportunities for your personal & professional growth. Spend twice as much time as you did last year, investing in relationship building with past & present clients. Double your face time at networking events to increase your visibility……and Get re-Connected to grow your business!
