My friend sent this to me over the holidays and it made me laugh. How do you want people to hear about you in 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!

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!

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?

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!
