Third Generation Networking Podcast

Whether it’s because they are 11 years old, located in another state, or isolated behind layers of gatekeepers, sometimes it’s simply not practical to network directly with your potential clients. So what can you do? Join Debby and Greg as they discuss how you can make use of non-standard networking and an awareness of who is really making the buying decision in your sales cycle to connect with the unconnectable.

"Porch Swing Days - faster" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

If you’ve ever been in charge of a networking event, whether it’s a four-person mastermind, or 200 people for a business luncheon, you know there are a lot of moving pieces. The challenge is that keeping track of all the spinning plates can lead to you not getting your own networking goals accomplished. What do you do? Join Debby and Greg as they talk about the tips and techniques they’ve used to make hosting the networking event pay off.

You’re at a networking event and the person you are chatting with doesn’t seem eager to leave. Even if you are having a good time, you’ve set networking goals for yourself and letting someone else monopolize your time will get in the way of achieving your goals. Join Debby and Greg as they talk about some of the techniques they’ve used (and one or two that they hate) to end a conversation gracefully.

What do you know about the people in your network? How do you store and maintain the information you’ve gathered so that the next time you meet it’s a continuation of the previous get-together instead of like you are starting over? Join Debby and Greg as they talk about the information tools that they’ve found useful in their networking practice.

As your network grows, it gets harder to stay in contact with all of the people you know. After all, you only have 24 hours in the day and that sleep thing can be important! Join Debby and Greg as they talk about the techniques they use to maintain their connections with a large network.

Join Debby and Greg as they chat with Dave Litzenberg, financial advisor, baseball fan, and founder of one of the first fully virtual BNI Chapters. When faced with the challenge of finding a chapter that didn’t already have a financial advisor (very rare), Dave decided to get in on the ground floor of a brand new group. Listen to his journey and his networking advice.

Do you love being in the crowd and talking with everyone in the room? You are probably an extrovert. Do you prefer to have deeper conversations with one or two people on the edges? You are probably an introvert. Guess what? No matter which side of the fence you find yourself, you bring strengths to the networking table. You can also learn a lesson or two from those on the other side of the fence. Join Debby and Greg (a couple of introverts) as they discuss what each group brings to the networking game.
