IMG_2488Happy 2013!

I seem to have fallen off the band wagon of posting my monthly networking event suggestions, but new year and we’re back! If your new year resolution included growing your business (because shrinking your business hopefully wasn’t a goal…) getting off your butt and out to some networking events is a GREAT way to accomplish that! Here’s a couple events I’m attending (and speaking at!) and some other opportunities you may find to be a good fit!

 Authentic Selling: Growing Your Business When You THINK You Hate Sales

A Money Wise Women Teleseminar

That’s right folks, I’ll the guest speaker! It’ll be a fun hour and hopefully it’ll help give you the kick you need to get going with your sales plan for 2013!

NWEN Breakfast Buzz

I don’t usually cross the bridge for NWEN Breakfasts but this month they’ll be talking with the fine folks at Zaarly, a company I think is pretty rad and has some great people behind it! If you’re looking for creative ways to sell a product (or service) Zaarly is worth checking out. And if you are a startup looking for inspiration, NWEN is the place to be!

eWomen Network Luncheon

As most of you know I’ve been a big fan of eWomenNetwork for a LONG time and the speakers scheduled in 2013 do not look to disappoint! If you can’t join the luncheon but want to check out eWomen let me know, they have smaller events throughout the month.

If these events don’t suit your fancy, thats fine. I also recommend checking out NWEN’s event calendar and the Puget Sound Business Journal’s events. Neither of them pay me to say it, I really think they do good stuff. And if you and your dog are out enjoying the sunshine let Hank & I know, we may just come join you!

What other networking events are you checking out in the new year?

Clean up your lists for 2013

12.24.2012 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

Seriously, this is a terrible idea.
Seriously, this is a terrible idea.

All those business cards you were going to get to? This is a great time to get them into a spreadsheet, add them to your CRM, get them signed up for your newsletter as promised, and make sure they’re in your system, not just in a box or a really nice neat pile. If you need a spreadsheet to get you started, just reply to this email and I’ll send you mine.

In an effort to not really write blog posts this month (sorry, December got busy out of nowhere!) My 3rd tip for December is to spend time cleaning up your lists. Get everything in it’s place. Clean that box of business cards off your desk. Get your lists organized and ready for 2013 so you can send newsletters, drip campaigns and follow up notes with ease!

Say Thank You

12.18.2012 by Elizabeth // Leave a Comment

In December’s Newsletter I gave you 3 great ideas to end 2012 strong. Last week I talked about Catching up with your Pipeline. This week, it’s always a good reminder to Say Thank You to the people in your life who are sending you clients, being great clients, were difficult clients and you’re thankful to have finished the project, or great friends and supporters.

You know that referral partner who sent you an AMAZING lead that became a great client? Did you thank her? The same is true for any partner who did work for you on a client. Shoot them a quick note, send a Christmas card (or Hanukkah or Festivus) or give him a call and say thank you.

Take 10 minutes this week (or do one a day) and send an email, write a note or pick up the phone and say thanks!
