At last week’s meeting we voted to change our networking group’s name from Plano Business Accelerators to Network Plano! (In truth, that’s partly due to everyone’s inability to spell accelerators on a consistent basis), but it also makes us consistent to our website domain name www.networkplano.com
As always, we give a BIG thanks to our visitors this week:
Margaret Reedy – sales –
~ was unfortunately laid off recently and is looking for a new job in sales.
Bob Grizzle – America Success Stories –
~ providing insightful radio profiles of interesting people on the Word 100.7 FM
Jan Wells – LandAmerica Commonwealth Title – www.landam.com
~ providing title and escrow services and personal service
Linda Velasquez – Owner/Operator – www.howdyallgreeters.com
~ personally visit new homeowners to greet them and promote your business
21 total attendees at today’s meeting made for a full house and a lot of energy.
The 10 minute presentation was given by Mel Williams of Fuel Freedom International. Mel and a business partner offer sales coaching seminars on cruise ships to provide a relaxing environment to grow your sales skills and enjoy a vacation at the same time.
Mel’s 10 minute presentation focused on the power of influencing people:
People follow people who influence them.
How do you get people to follow your influence?
The biggest way to influence people revolves around building trust. CLICK HERE TO READ THE 5 C's of BUILDING TRUST
