Networking That Works!

I have been the Social Media Strategist for Free Networking International since September and because I am always Online working I was never able to get to an event until this past Monday when I had the opportunity to speak on a panel at a Business Expo about how Social Media can indeed help drive people to your business. It was my first panel and only my second networking event that wasn’t based around something having to do with the Internet. I just want to say that this event has opened up so many doors for me. I seriously can’t believe how many inquiries I have gotten all because of this one event.Picture 26 300x202 Networking That Works!

Now if you would have asked me two weeks ago if I thought traditional networking would be beneficial to me, I would have said “probably not”, however  I have officially changed my mind people. You need to get out and shake hands (and then get back to the Internet and Social Networking). You see I have realized that by doing Online and “Offline” networking, you are opening the doors to  ton of new possibilities and this is coming from someone that swears by Social Media and Networking. I don’t just swear by it, I live it each and every day and love every second that I am finding new, awesome tools for clients.

Have you tried networking with a professional business group in your area? If so, what were your thoughts? If not, why?

Will you give a networking event a chance?

Ups and Downs In A Day
My Friday started off with a few conference calls, Twitter, and checking my email as usual about 9:00am. Around 11:00am I realized I still needed to figure out what I was going to wear to my meetings for the day because I was for a change leaving the desk and computer to go and shake REAL hands.
I begin my journey to my meetings about 12:45pm and all of a sudden the car begins to shake just a little. I assumed it was only the road I was on, but as soon as I get onto 4 the entire car begins to vibrate. I feel like I am in a blender and begin flipping out. Normally if there is an odd sound I would just turn up the radio and ignore the noise, but there was nothing that I could do to ignore this.
I finally get to my first destination, The Dream Factory and get to sit down with Chris Krimitsos and Katie Krienitz. I was there with David Doerges and Celeste Underwood from Free Networking International as I have been for the past 4 weeks working on their Social Media and promoting their events. Anyways we had an AMAZING time learning about TWBA and talked all sorts of technical, Internet related things. My eyes were sparkly and I was indeed for an hour in heaven talking with like-minded individuals. In the back on my mind however I knew that I still had a situation with the car that I needed to tend to eventually. I was able to forget about it briefly as we began talking about Facebook, blogging and all sorts of other amazing things.
Once we finished that meeting we had to make out way to the Westshore Hotel only about a block over and meet with some other truy amazing individuals. Once again I got into the car praying that it would take me where I needed to go without killing me in the process.
Once at our second destination I realized that the front passenger tire was about 9 months prego and ready to burst. Actually it had a gigantic bubble on the side and the seam was tearing. Scary huh?
So we get to our meeting and sit down to talk about Free Networking International with AJ Puedan, Dave VanHoose and Dustin Mathews. Many amazing ideas were hashed out at this meeting. Some great content was provided to us. We also talked about the Self Wealth Live expo that will be going on in two weeks here in Tampa. It looks like an amazing event, but unfortunately I have a Tweetup the same day so I can’t attend.
So as our second and final meeting came to an end I once again remembered that I have a tire about to pop and the only way to get home is to change it.
In dress pants, hair fixed, makeup on and in heels I pulled out the jack, got the spare and got to work right there in the parking lot of the Westshore Hotel. It was such a humid evening (6pm) and I was drenched in sweat by the time I got it fixed, but the point is that I got it fixed and in heels! Women can do anything men can do and give them an obstacle like heels and they will pull through and get it done.
flattire usa 375x253 Ups and Downs In A DaySo 5 amazing new faces and one jacked up tire later I was on my way back home. Once I got home I checked Twitter and Facebook and that’s where my day got even better. Someone was giving away a FREE ticket to IZEAFest and a Twitter friend saw it and let them know I was looking to go. I got the ticket (just waiting on the confirmation).
It was a day of ups and downs, awesome new ideas, brainstorming and in the end I received an awesome gift.

izeafest logo Ups and Downs In A DayI have to thank @retta719 for the free ticket to IZEAFest. It means the world to me! I also want to thank @EdieGalley for looking out and remembering that I was trying to get there. You two are absolutely AMAZING individuals!

Licensee partner with the University of Alabama Huntsville in developing the world’s first and leading Entrepreneur Degree program for higher education worldwide.

Bestselling author. Radio show host. Movie writer producer. Berny Dohrmann is entering a third decade of offering education and training systems to private industry and government. Presently Mr. Dohrmann is working with leading celebrity trainers including Anthony Robbins, Dr. Jeff Magee publisher of THE PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE, Ed Bogle, contract adviser to Conoco Oil, and many more, on CEO Space’s 2009 SOVEREIGN NATION PROGRAM.

The SOVEREIGN NATION PROGRAM complements the five WORLD TRADE SHOWS Mr. Dohrmann produces each year for industrial CEOs and their management, with “in nation” training for economic development of participating host countries. Mr. Dohrmann’s next book the COOPERATION REVOLUTION – REDEMPTION defines the death of the first generation of competitive capitalism with all of its abuses and the birth of the future of cooperative, collaborative capitalism, the next generation of capitalism.

Mr. Dohrmann is a world change agent, advising CEOs of the largest industries, as well as heads of state. Mr. Dohrmann is known as the coach of the coaches, advising celebrity thought leaders with past relationships that include Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup, Bob Proctor and Lisa Nichols stars of THE SECRET, John Gray of MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS fame, Jill Lublin bestselling author of NETWORKING MAGIC and many other celebrities and adviser coaches.

One of nine himself, Mr. Dohrmann remains puzzled how he “became his father” with the same nine in his family that he himself was raised in, Berny states”I love my career as “Dad” more than any other.” Berny’s father, Alan Dohrmann, was a leader in corporate training coaching such figures as Napoleon Hill, Bucky Fuller, Walt Disney, Earl Nightingale, President Jack Kennedy, and many others creating the world stage Berny Dohrmann grew up within.

With Super Teaching rapidly reforming public education (now Title I qualified technology in the USA), Mr. Dohrmann is expanding his family legacy with the 2009 release of the CEO SPACE Sovereign Nation Program for rapid Entrepreneurial Development helping nations to prosper during the developing recession. Jack Canfield writes “if you ever get the chance to see Berny Dohrmann live, cancel every other plan and reset your compass to do so.” Many of the most important world change thought leaders in both industry and government seek out Berny Dohrmann’s counsel for their new plans.
