Mike,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing the "Secrets" of networking. I have taken back so much of my time that I found time to send you a thank you email. I am accomplishing much more with the same amount of time. I have been more successful than I have been in the last five to ten years. I have been in the same industry to over 12 years and it feels like I have just recently started a new profession. I have three BNI chapters that I support that are going through new Leadership and Support Team trainings, and I am in the middle of training my 512 Downtown chapter in Core Team training and I am attending the four hours of Referral Institute training per week. With this huge workload in addition to "real job"; I am finding more time by not chasing leads and focusing on shade 7 or higher referrals! My whole outlook has changed for the better.
Some of the little things have made the largest impact. I am only participating in one of the seven types of networking organizations and I did not realize it. Now I am focusing on finding a few new opportunities for networking and growing my referral business.
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for sharing this information with me. Thank you again, Mike.
