Good point Mike with the used car dealer personality. I have met them at events. Check the article by Arden Clise for a funny event story: http://biznik.com/articles/how-not-to-do-sales

Josh- I love your article.

You offer excellent reminders to be organized and have a plan. Another BizNiker suggested printing a list of people attending an event (if available) and hanging onto the list for future reference.

You offer a great reminder that some events are for working and other events may be for learning. My goals may be different for each so I need to remember to prepare for each accordingly. Then I can offer better value to my business time, my learning time, and others I meet.

Hi Suzanne-

I think it's valuable for business if you want people to find you online by name. It's another place to set up your information and links. And... people don't have to log on to view your information. - Andrea

Arden and Joyce Lynn- I blew it today with scheduling and can't make it across the bridge in time. Maybe I can help find a Bellevue location for your next event. I'm sorry to miss this one.

Hi Lynn-

I heard about Power Chicks! I'm excited to be part of the group. Thank you for posting the event.

Andrea

That was an excellent event - practical information combined with fun and useful activities. The groups were good and I made some great contacts. I'll be watching for more events. Thank You!

This sounds like a good reason to "cross the bridge" in the afternoon. Selling + Etiquette!! Great combination, thank you for hosting.

This will be good! We've been fans of Gary's wine site for a few years.
