John Valentine replied to John Valentine's discussion Best marketing/ promotional gift you have done or received"Yes, but it is still in my glove box and will be out when the frost comes, (probably the end of next week).

We have covered this a couple of times recently in The board you can't afford™ thanks to Sarah at The best of Salford and it is a very interesting topic hearing how some people market their business/ add extra value. ie, The gym owner that asked his customers what other service they wanted and the answer was a car valet when they attended the gym - the result a very profitable car valeting business. My best promotional gift was from Helen at Sandler training, who gave out a very high quality…See More

When’s it due? And six other ways to start your business networking on the wrong foot.
Posted on February 15, 2012 at 16:00 2 Comments 1 Like
1. When’s it due?
Answer, ‘when’s what due?’ followed by a pregnant pause, followed by an outbreak of foot in mouth. There is no retrieving this situation, I know of someone who did utter those four simple words and then try valiantly to back track but it was too late. The problem is in ‘nervy’ situations such as business networking we can often say the wrong thing without thinking.
2. Glad to see you’re all my age, (when you are – with respect the oldest person in the…

When business networking at an event the people in the room represent only a small opportunity the real benefit of networking comes from getting through the room, in other words developing relationships with the people you meet to enable them to refer you to the people they know. 7 ways to get through the room...
1. Ask for Specific referrals
This makes you look serious, if you have taken the time to be bothered to name a specific company then the least I will do is…

1. Disconnect your actions from your business
We had a business/life coach that would turn up late at most meetings, arrive flustered and in a panic, spill coffee everywhere, mumble, stumble and fall in.

Gwyneth’s Ring
Posted by Orit Adiri-Niemogha on May 28, 2012 at 14:32 0 Comments 0 Likes
Gwyneth’s engagement ring was once her Granmother’s. It is an old style three diamond ring. You might say, well, a lot of girls get their engagement rings passed on to them and you might be right about that. However, reading Gwyneth’s story I sensed neither Gwyneth nor her Gran were what…
