Structured Networking?

Too often ‘networking events’ turn out to be social events. This networking opportunity supports your 60 second commercial and guarantees genuine connections with like-minded individuals.

Business Bread© attracts individuals with the desire to fulfill their ultimate purpose of fellowship with God through the development of their God given talents/abilities. These are the people with whom you want to create introductions.

Networking tools:
(Suggested, not required)
Business cards
Supportive materials
Small post it notes
Sharpie

Say what?
· State your name and company name.
· State your Ideal Referral. – Be specific in order to create a picture in our mind, “single moms, fat middle aged men, college graduates, etc.” Next week, you can pick a new ‘specific’ group.
o My ideal referrals this week are hospital employees who are homeowners.
· If others were to tell people what you do, what should they say?
o You can tell others, “I help people pay off their debt in as little as ½ to 1/3 the time with little to no change in their budget.”
Practice makes perfect.
