That’s part of what I need to correct: having my words ready. I don’t like the term “elevator speech” but I do need to be able to present my company in a very concise and consistent way. Nice article! Thanks for sharing. –MM

good points. Especially about going to a chamber with the attitude of “what can I get out of it”…true in relationships too! Thanks for the post.

As a consultant, I see the value of providing an online experience. Although social media is a great example of an interactive digital medium with real power, you have to know how to use it. For many small businesses, effectively navigating social media is largely about understanding Generation Y. Please see my review of Millennials as they relate to social media.

Comment on Give The Gift Of A Genuine Smile While Networking by Jaymie Testman

There are some that say I have never met a stranger and I think it has a lot to do with the smile. It’s a way to let people know you are interested. Most things that need to be said can be understood with the look on a face and when you are working a room or just a one-to-one meeting, your interest and smile mean everything.

I really like the point about the smile being the opening, but the handshake the beginning of a relationship. I am a hugger after that first contact because I am so relational. For those of you that are not, I would tell you it is so much easier to start a relationship with a smile than trying to build a good relationship with a bad first impression. Plus it makes people wonder what is so good in their lives.

My unsolicited 2 cents.

Great Blog Jerry.
