How do I work Networking Events effectively? Do I lead with Product or Opportunity?

Thanks to Kim Kennedy for sharing her question, and I know this is one other have..

ANSWER

Rules of the Networking Group - BNI

Flow of the Event

Your Elevator Pitch - be catchy and memorable - I help people who…vs…my product does this, this and this….

Giveaways

10 minute presentations

The meeting after the meeting - referrals

Follow Up

Remember this - while you are around business oriented people, most are there to work their own business and are not there looking for a business. This doesn’t mean they aren’t open to something else, you just have to take the time to develop a relationship, probe, test and reach out.

Referrals are powerful - who do you know who?

Become the go to person in your product niche and be a go giver!
