Paul and Sara Finkelstein recommend to stay consistent like attending a referral networking team regularly on the same time weekly. A monthly networking event where you give a elevator pitch is not enough. There is not enough time to get to know the other guests.
Also, Paul and Sara Finkelstein recommend you ditch the elevator pitch. Ditch the pitch. Instead prepare a 1 minute educational nugget how you solve your client's and customer's problems and their target audience will stand up when they hear that.
Here's the thing, many entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs spend 2 months or up to a year planning a 2 week vacation but never take a couple hours to plan their business' marketing efforts systematically. They can get results from a free meet greet. They don't have to pay. Time is money of course. They do want to make sure the attitude of the guests is a fit for them.
Paul and Sara Finkelstein, Local Business Person of the Year 2024 recipients, believe a positive attitude and one that is enthusiastic, is imperitive or essential to success when networking. The excitement will inspire. Entrepreneurs want to move people to success too. For entrepreneurs who need a boost in the attitude department, there's 3 things they can do to have a great attitude as an entrepreneur or future entrepreneur.
1.) Read "Think and Grow Rich" Everyday.
2.) Be a guest at their networking team weekly at 1 of 14 free meet and greets. Hanging out with excited entrepreneurs can be inspiring and motivating. It sure beats the alternatives.
3.) Ditch the Pitch. Use questions on one-to-one's. Use their ears more than their mouth. God did want us to use the ears TWICE as much as the mouth.
Readers are encouraged and invited to 1 of 14 free meet and greets in the Palm Beaches, FL area on Tuesday, Wednesday, the 3rd Thursday, the 2nd Thursday and Saturdays. Two of the meetings are virtual. One on zoom. One on Alignable. They all are an upbeat format to hear guests intros for 1 minute, one minute of question and answer to give the business more PR time to introduce solutions to their community. There is a weekly 10:00 minute presentation by guests who are loyal. Attend 3 times and get on the speakers list.
Another tip Paul and Sara Finkelstein, Local business person of the year 2024 recipients, recommend is to use the Paul method. When Paul met Sara back on April 18, 1998, Saturday 10:00am at a local diner, Denny's, he made up his three method for dating. Paul knew this three method could work for entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs.
1. Everyone Paul met can be a resource. A resource for his family or his friends.
2. Everyone can be a friend.
3. Everyone can be a customer or business partner.
Either a 1, 2 or 3. This "three" method eliminated the need for anyone or anybody or any entrepreneur or any customer to be the "D" word: desperate.
Readers wanting more referrals, more resources, more friends, more customers or more business partners are encouraged to atttend and meet Paul and Sara at one of their 14 free meet greets. Two are virtual. So geography is no longer a boundary.
