You’re Invited !!!

Call it a happy hour or coffee break if you prefer 

but this is a chance to rest from your mundane

chores and meet a few new people.

 This is a real time,

online networking event 

where you can actually talk with actual people.

Since you are doing it from your own location 

 you will need to provide your own beverage and snacks. 

but we will provide the opportunity to interact with

some interesting individuals  and learn a bit about each other.

Here are the guidelines. 

  Ideally you will call in to the phone number provided

using your landline, cell phone, Skype, VOIP

 ship to shore radio or whatever you have.   

  Simultaneously you will monitor

your Special Event Internet console

that will automatically display the profile

of the person you are speaking with and

display your profile to them. 

  So be sure to take 3 or 4 minutes

to prepare your profile in advance

of the meeting.

 Ideally when you register. 

Like right after you finish reading this.

  When the meeting begins,

and after a few introductory remarks,

probably from me, (about 5 minutes)

you will be randomly paired with

someone else on the call 

(by our online magic randomizer)  .

During your short (3-4 minute) meeting

I suggest you tell your partner something

you did this week to help a client

or how you introduced someone to your product

or service as a way of explaining what you do. 

So for instance, instead of saying: “My name is Reno

and I produce short multi-media web videos.”  

 You might say, “My name is Reno

and I just completed the production

of a short web video for a client who

recently published a novel 

 and I am working with a potential client

who owns a sign company and wants a

short web video to show people the different

kinds of signs he manufactures. 

In this way in a short period of time

you can give your new contact an idea

of what kinds of projects you do and

the benefits of your product or service. 

 He or she will likely respond

with a few questions to clarify

and then share his or her

business experiences with you. 

This is a bit like speed dating

or networking on the subway.

When your time is up

you will be abruptly

and unceremoniously

switched to a new partner. 

 But no worries mate!

You’ll have a chance to send an email

through the system when the event is over

 and follow-up with those individuals that

  you want to follow up with.         

 Be not afraid.

This is a fun new way to make business contacts

and expand your sphere of influence,

and you don’t even have to comb your hair.
