SUMMERRRRR...
Summer’s also the time for more networking meetings, more company golf outings and more opportunities to meet with existing customers (think “thank you” barbecues, city tours, CEO golf outings, customer forums), and new prospects and current referral sources (think summer networking meetings at the Chamber, Kiwanis and other business associations). Of course, all of these activities kick up a couple of notches when September rolls around so what you want to do this summer is to hone your networking skills and sharpen your meeting management tactics whether it’s for you or your younger, less experienced associates.
So that you make the most of this summer’s networking activities whether it’s at your local Chamber or your industry association or your working either a trade show or just at a golf outing, check out...Jack's 10 Tips for Better Networking. Some of these tips might make that dreaded networking meeting not only more enjoyable, but much more productive.
Have fun this Memorial Day weekend, and remember to work the “fun” part.

Just a short note to say thank you so much giving me the opportunity to participate in your sales optimization boot camp earlier this week. This was by far the most high value two-day session I have experienced in many years. The energy, passion and experience you brought to the session was contagious and motivating and enables open minds that certainly helped me take away some very key learnings.
