Event description

This is the Biz Networking class you have requested. A sequel to How To Toot Your Own Horn. Learn and practice how to brag professionally at live events while building trust and better relationships with your networking partners.

------------------------------------------------------------------

How come so many indies deliver services so brilliantly but have trouble communicating what they do?

Would you like to learn the secrets of bragging shamelessly (without sounding obnoxious, conceited, or sales-y)?

In this workshop we will share:

The single most effective thing you can do when you meet someone for the very first time.
The one action guaranteed to destroy your potential business relationship.
How to take the first step to building trust before you leave a meeting.
And a whole lot more.... Including online bragging tips and search engine visibility if we have time

Our first 20 minutes or so will allow you to practice your "before" speech through informal networking. After some expert training, you are invited to volunteer to practice your new brag, with feedback from the group. A very productive (and fun) two hours.

We will limit the size of our class because we want plenty of time for attendee participation and coaching.

View some comments and pictures from our last Shameless Bragging Event.

At the conclusion of our workshop, we will all go across the street to the Old Spaghetti Factory for a network lunch together to practice some more.

Howard, Thanks for putting this event together...sounds like just what I need! However, I did not attend the "How To Toot Your Own Horn" (I don't think I was even a Biznik yet) so I hope I will be able to keep up with you all. I look forward to seeing you in action.

I have operated my business in So Cal for16 years and am now in Seattle and need lots of help in the marketing myself arena. This sounds like something I really need.

Howard,

I don't think I'll be there, so I'm canceling--that may change in the morning. I hope someone can take the slot.

Howard, I am very glad that I attended your presentation. It was, it was informative and I was able to follow my new "motra" for the first time.

Thank-you. It was great

Howard, thank you SO MUCH for this event.

The interactive nature of the workshop, and the participatory exercises really helped solidify the information.

It's starting to become more and more clear how the selling and referring will fall into place as connections are established and grown.

I know you say that all the time, but I'm really starting to see that it can be real for someone like me too -- rather than something only available to the seasoned masters.

I no longer feel like "sales" is some insurmountable "thing" I have to "master" before saying 'Hi' to folks at an event.

thank you, thank you and thank you!

I'm so happy I went to the event. It was more of a lesson in how to operate in a networking environment and thus extremely pertinent. Another great tool from Howard who mixes networking opportunities and development of skills to maximize those opportunities. Thank you for sharing your years of experience with both the new and those in need of practice. You’re events benefit us all and are appreciated.

Thank you, Neil
