CONNECTIONS�

As we dock, make connections at the welcome luncheon. Raise the level of enjoyability, bring stuff (promotion cups, hats, t-shirts, pens, etc.) and spread it around. Help people to remember you and your company. Leave an impression with promotional items that last and last and last.

NETWORKING 101
So you're planning on coming to the August luncheon to NETWORK and further your business. GREAT!! That is what luncheons are all about. They are about forming relationships and cultivating business friendships. People do business with and refer business to the people they like and trust. Always remember the 250 people rule. Everyone you meet usually has a circle of influence of 250 people. Networking is one of the most underused business assets. The best part about it, is it doesn't cost a penny:
NETWORKING COMMANDMENTS - Thou shall..
Introduce Yourself to Everyone...
You never know who might be in the room that will help you send your business into the
stratosphere. Summarizewhat you and your business is about (no more than 60 seconds).
Give the Person You are Speaking with your Full Attention...
Never look around the room or past them.
Be A Good Listener�
Patience is a virtue, your turn will come.
Ask Open Ended Questions�
Learn as much as you can about what they do.
Volunteer for a Committee...
This opens doors by showcasing your skills and commitment.
