What is your greatest strength?
My greatest strength is my friends. You are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with, I surround myself with great people.

One of the most exciting things that I get to do is travel the world and speak. So I am always working to stay in touch with my world wide network of friends. I belong to an international mastermind group that allows me to connect in a big way around the world, and of course BNI has opened door and made my world very small with it's international reach. It is these very connection that allow me to lead an incredible life with incredible people.

Because of the wonderful things that I have been able to achieve, I share my time, talent and treasures with many different not for profits, locally and globally.

I believe that my purpose in this life is to "BE Contribution to Others" So I live by the guiding principle that everything I choose to do, must contribute to the lives of others in a postive way.
What are you working on?
Developing the worlds leading referral training organization. Here is a key question to ask yourself. What is not happening in your networking activities, that should be happening? What is it costing you? Do you know?

Networking is an art, and like art it is subjective. What I consider art you might not, and vice versa. But it is art and it is all good. There are a few rules to art, follow the rules and create your own art work.

Building a business by referral is a science. It is systematic approach to getting predictable results in a repeatable way. I work with the Referral Institute to teach and develop systems that will help people generate referrals for their lives and their businesses.

I am also working on a book called "Networking and Sex" How men and women network differently" with Dr. Ivan Misner and Frank DeRaffele. Notice that I am the girl on the team. If you would like to take the survey for out book click on this link.

Your Referral Dance Partner - Are they Trained

Dancing with the Stars is a very very popular program. The dancers spend a great deal of time training their dance partners. When one goes left the other goes right, there are dips and turns, stops and starts and all of it with the rhythm of the music in the background.

How does all of this relate to referrals, it is the same strategy. If you are going to get valuable referrals from your referral partners it requires that you train them and train them correctly.

Back to the dancers, one is the… Continue

Ladies, Ask for What You Want

Over the years I have developed a pretty deep network and one of the things that I spend a lot of time doing is up dating my database. In the process of doing that this week I noticed that my strongest referral relationships are with guys. So I began to think about that, why are there more males in my strong contact network instead of women and here are some of the things that I came up with.

When I sit down with a guy to build a referral relationship the conversation tends to be straight forwa… Continue

Thank You to Pat Coyle and those Behind the Scene who Help

As the Franchise Owner for BNI Central and Southern Indiana I often listen to people who take a great deal of time telling me about everything they think I am doing wrong and most often they do not offer a solution. So I really appreciate it when I get a note or a call from someone thanking me or giving me a pat on the back.

Pat Coyle has a community here that is more that 3 times the size of my Franchise and I know he gets a lot of complaints from people who want to tell him everything that is… Continue

If Referrals are Important, Why are They Random?

I am always interested in learning how people generate referrals for their business. So, when I am networking I will ask the people I meet the following questions; How much of your business is by referral and the response is often 50% or more. That always leads me to my next question, do you have a tracking system or is that a good guess? It is usually just a guess.

For most networkers, referrals are completely random and go something like this:

Dear Hazel,

I'm new to this website and just came across your page. I see you have traveled to China and loved the country and the people. Being a Chinese American, I'm naturally drawn to comments like that :) I work full time as an engineer at Delphi and I also run my own freelance Chinese translation business. I joined this website seeking opportunities to grow my business locally. I'd welcome any guidance and advice from you.

Best Regards,
Di

Hi Hazel. I attended the Business, Blues, and Chocolate event as my first "official" networking event. I've heard a lot about BNI and Rainmakers but never actually attended. Do you participate in any regular networking events?

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon
