Getting the Most Out of Your Networking Group

Here is my personal list of things to do at your networking group:

(1) Bring your business cards. Sound simple? Well, I regularly meet people at networking groups who have forgotten their cards or their cards are at the printers. Keep an ample supply in your car, briefcase, and pockets; you never know when you're going to meet someone important to your business.

(2) Wear a name tag. While attending a networking meeting, it is not realistic to expect to remember each person's name and the business they represent. If your nametag says what you do, it makes meeting you, and remembering you later, a lot easier. A nametag can also stimulate conversation about your business.

(3) Door Prizes. At many networking groups, there is an opportunity to give away a door prize. This type of promotion is two-fold. First; your product or service will get mentioned in a special way with lots of attentive people listening. Second; the winner will have an experience of your product or service and may tell others within the networking group. Note-the door prize does not have to be expensive. Regardless of the price, your business will still be acknowledged-thus, getting more exposure.

(4) Set a goal. After the guest speaker, there is time to network with others. You may want to make it a goal to network with a specific number of people at each meeting. While each person is introducing himself or herself, take note of who you want to talk to, so you can tell them about your business and ask about theirs. Remember, make it a two-way conversation.

(5) Respect others. If there is someone you want to talk to and they are engaged in a conversation, respect their time with the other person, and do not interrupt them. Stand off to the side where they can see you. Interrupting them may break rapport between you and them, and between them and the person to whom they are speaking.

(6) Have fun and be enthusiastic about your business.

10 Super Charged Ways To Spark Your Sales

1. Add a free interactive game to your web site. You
could hire someone to create it. The game should be
related to the theme of your web site.

2. Train your employees as a team instead of just
individuals. Everyone must do their job in order for
the others do theirs.

3. Make people feel like it's their idea to buy, they
will be less hesitant. Tell them in your ad "You're
making a smart decision for buying our product".

4. Promote yourself as well as your products. Write
articles, ebooks, reports, etc. When you endorse
products, people will think your statement is credible.

5. Show your prospects a group of testimonials that
stand up for your product. People are more likely to
agree with a group than have a different opinion.

6. Maximize your advertising budget and don't go
broke like the big web sites. All you need is a small
group of loyal customers to sell back end products.

7. Sell to the people that join your affiliate program.
They are more likely to by your products because
they are interested in selling them for commission.

8. Offer a deluxe product or service as an up sell
or back end product. You won't have to create a
totally new product just add on to your main one.

9. Tell people what they're thinking and feeling as
they read your ad. Most people will actually do it.
Your statements should help sell your product.

10. Make your product offer very rare. People
perceive things that are rare as being more valuable.
You could use a limited time offer or free bonuses.
