Event description

This hour long event is designed to help you meet other professionals in the most efficient manner. Bring plenty of business cards!

There will be three parts: 1-During a brief introduction, I will give you 3 tips for making the most of your networking time, including the key to getting highly qualified leads. 2-45 minutes of speed networking. You will pair up, then have 60 seconds to share, then it will be your partner's turn. Change partners, and repeat. 3-Wrap-up - I will pick a couple of people to share something they have learned.

What you get: Improved networking skills and 20 new contacts!

About me: I'm a Nutrition Coach working out of the newly expanded Integrated Health Center, right across from Redmond City Hall.

Hysterial! Is this like speed dating?!? :-D I'll have to try this sometime... Can I talk that fast in 60 seconds? Dave Kuhns http://www.cyranowriter.com

similar to speed dating - you share your business commercial or elevator pitch. I'll give everyone instructions at the beginning.

Got to get that message out before the parade passes by. Sounds like a great workout to me.

I like it when there are instructions...looking forward to this new experience!

Looking forward to meeting you all next week!

For practice in putting together your 60 second commercial, what specific type of client/referral would you like to get right now? Can you describe them completely?

Hi everyone, this will be my first Biznik event that I am attending. Anything special I should know/expect to bring? Look forward to meeting everyone.

Hi Justin - I feel priviledged to have you at my meeting for your first! Bring business cards, maybe a pen and small note pad to take notes and a 60-second commercial for your business. Include your name, your business name, what you do and your ideal client. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi Carole, looking forward to this. I've done quite a few of these in one format or another, and always have enjoyed them. Looks like a great group!

Oh Bob, you are going to miss out! I know, clients should come first though. Hopefully you can make one of the other events later this month.
